190 amp alternator? w/ KINETIK KHC2400 alright?

[brandon2006l]

I just purchased another zx2500.1.. It will be 5600 watts at least of amps,(have 2 other amps for highs.)

I was wondering if 1/0 gauge wire, my regular battery, stock 190 out alternator and the KINETIK HC2400 battery. Would be alright on my truck? and make a difference.

My battery in my truck now is about a year and half old. So, should I get another stock battery also?

Since its an an "older battery", even though I have no problems currently with my single zx2500.1 hooked up. Will it effect how the KINETIK KHC2400 charges or disperses?

Dimming lights etc...

I have a slight dim when I beat hard. But nothing dies or anything.

If you run all 1/0 for your batts and have short runs from the rear bat to your amps, you shouldn't have any significant voltage drops (lights dimming). Once you get everything wired up, test the system for at least 13V at the amps with the engine running and system bumping. If you drop below 13V, then you know you need to upgrade your batteries, wiring, alternator, or all 3. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Forgot to add, as long as your stock battery has a resting voltage of around 12.5 - 12.8V and can hold a load, then there is no reason to replace the battery. The average battery lasts about 4-6 years before its time to replace it.
