More effective for cost

I do run Ancor marine grade tinned high strand OFC copper 2/0 from front to back, etc. As long as one provides the plumbing, the current will flow.

My interest is quite piqued. My last disappointment was from an IOXUS Super Cap. Although that may have been my fault since I mounted it under the tool box with no other protection from the South Texas heat.

It gets pretty damn hot here in boise during the summer, snows in the winter too. I was told it wasn't needed but I do like to disengage the system when starting in when it's below freezing, something that isolator allows me to do.

With that isolator it's a touch of a button so not like it's a chore to do. Going to be pulling most of the styetem this spring to install some more deadener, I should have some pictures then. Been she about posting the car (nothing special) but my addy is out there and the years I posted a lot, had several systems ripped off.

Always a work in progress. Hit them up on FB, they are very active and always eager to help.

The IOXUS Super Cap is a different product altogether. My Glowe is mounted in the back of the hatch inside the car. I'm building a new rear end for the hatch, the three amps, DSP and distro, hope to get it in this spring.

I run a 4500 watt system of a stock alt and a GloweVoltage series 1 LifePo4. The GloweVoltage will support systems of up to 8000 watts on a stock alt.

Used to be that the Alt was the go-to but that isn't the case anymore. Grab a GloweVoltage Series 1 or 2, run it parallel with the primary and call it a day.

It's all you'll need to 8K on a stock alt. especially considering what a PITA an alt upgrade can be in newer cars.

Batteries - Glowe Voltage

How well does it work when used for long periods at high volume?

It does 96 amp hours well.

I don;t run it on it's own often, occasionally to show off but when driving 11 hours to AZ a while back, did just fine, day and night.

Here is a guy that ran a delete ion his car that has air compressors too.

I just did some research on these batteries. They are pretty amazing. They are designed like the batteries for heavy equipment, like electric forklifts. They hold 12v up until they are about 75% charge then the voltage starts to drop and a very steep slope.

With this battery, you can have a 5000 watt system, but you only need to run nothing larger than a 4g power wire. That's because your alternator and main battery will not be able to supply more power than what a 4g will provide. When your system is not being pushed, or played under what the alternator will provide, it will recharge the Glowe battery. Of course, from your Glowe battery to the amps, you would run much thicker wire.

My 2/0 gauge was already there, If you got it, use it is the motto I live by.
