So I'm back in thinking mode. The alternator I ordered doesn't fit the transverse 1.8t without some rather annoying modifications, and a motor mount switch. Since I'm not interested in changing back to a "factory style" motor mount it's looking like I'm limited to a 120a factory "upgrade" or maybe a local guy can get me 180ish. I currently have one of the D4S LTO's on order, but I'm wondering if I'm going to need more for daily use. Demos will be with the car running, and I will have a voltage gauge on the dash.
I'll be running a Smart 5 at 2 ohm, and an audison APF8.9 bit. Total peak RMS should be around 5500w if I'm actually pushing the subs and stage. I don't expect I'll be running much more than 2k to the subs and the stage should sit around 5-600w for normal use possibly less.
Currently I have a 90a alternator and my charging voltage peaks at 14.5. I have a Duracell AGM up front, the big 3 done, and a ground point in the rear that meters at .1 ohms. The batteries I'm adding will be mounted behind the drivers seat so I'm a bit wary of using LiFeP04.
As much as I would love to build a custom bank of something, I just don't have the time right now. I need something off the shelf or pre-made.
