    HO alt with only 1 battery?

    Is there a difference in the hc1200 and the 34/78 or 35 yellowtop? Those 2 will fit for sure.

    HO alt with only 1 battery?

    Ok then lol. Don't know much about electrical. Well I guess I'm goin with a deep cycle up front and a 270a alt. Just makin sure this is goin to be able to live up to 1500 rms load and a comp amp later?

    HO alt with only 1 battery?

    So if I were to upgrade to a hc1200 or a yellowtop that firs under the hood, I would be fine with my current setup and can even add a comp amp (which are my plans)? I figured even if the battery were smaller, the 270 amp alt wouldn't let my battery die.

    HO alt with only 1 battery?

    ****. My budget is really only for one battery. It makes sense though. If I were to get another battery it would be a 2400. Or could I keep my interstate up front and have a 2400 in the trunk?

    HO alt with only 1 battery?

    I am planning on getting a 270 amp alt from mechman for my 06 mustang. I was wondering if I could run just an hc1200 up front and be fine. I am using a fusion 2500 and trying to pull around 1300-1500rms. I dont want to relocate a batt in the trunk as I have no room. I wont listen to my music...

    HO alt brands and what all is needed?

    I have a 2006 mustang and am about to run a fusion 2500 amp and eventually an amp to power sone comps up front. What brand of alt is recommended? I've looked at a 220a powerbastards and a 250 At maniacelectricmotors. With this alt would I need a new battery besides a stock type? I was thinking a...

    What gauge speaker wire?

    I have been told to use 12 gauge for my setup which will be each sub getting around 750 rms. My local shop was out of 12 gauge but did have 14 gauge. Could I twist the 14 gauge together and it be just as good? Or could 14 gauge be enough? The whole system will pull 1500 rms between 2 subs...

    Fusion 2500 with 4 gauge?

    I just purchased a used Fusion NV AM2500 amp because its supposed to be around 1500 rms at 2 ohms but the power and ground wire inputs are for 4 gauge wire. I am going to use 1/0 but im confused why its 4 gauge. Also will buying 2 4gauge to 1/0 power wire reducers work? Like these Sound Quest...

    Big 3 Fuse Holder melting

    After looking again, I removed the plastic housing around it which brittles away and the wire is stiff stiff and has a charred look.

    Big 3 Fuse Holder melting

    1/0 gauge wire. Yea the connection is tight, I checked it. The wire from batt to fuse is probably a foot or maybe a bit more and from the alt to fuse is less than a foot. Dont know if this would affect anything. The fuse holder is by the fuse box.

    Big 3 Fuse Holder melting

    Hi, I just checked under my hood to see how much wire I need to buy for my new amp and i checked the wire from the alt to the battery, and my knukonceptz fuse older is melting where the alt wire meets the holder. The wire from the battery to the holder is fine. I have the holder by the fuse box...

    Wiring Questions

    What do you mean by insulate them? Under my hood I have a 0 gauge wire connected to 2 8 guage wires by using a metal connector that has 2 screws on the top to hold down the wire. And I have electrical tape wrapped around it.

    Wiring Questions

    I have a few questions. First, I was wondering if I could use a metal connector to combine peices of wire for my power wire. I dont have a single wire to reach from my battery to my amp, but i have enough if i connect 2 peices. Second, if my amp has an external fuse rating of 200, should i get a...

    Can ports face each other?

    One port will be releasing air towards the side of the other box that is 6 inches away, and the other port will be doing the same against the other box. I can stagger them a bit so they dont fire air in the same place. Make sense?
