5800watts rms electrical needed

[darren700 10+ year member]

OK, on my car presently i have 2 runs of 1 ga positive, and 2 runs of 1ga negative from the front to the back, i will be purchasing 2 kinetik hc2400's, and i have a delphi 180a ho alt. i plan to run either 2 2500.1's or a hifonics goliath, along side 2 elemental designs nine.2's bridged, for a total of 5800watts rms. is two runs of possitive and two runs of negative from the front stock battery enough to supply this kind of power? is there any other electronics upgrades you would suggest? thanks,

ps. this is for daily too

and 2 runs of 1ga negative from the front to the back,

IIRC, isn't that a nono?

Why would it be, its a lot better ground than the chassis, oh and the positive runs are fused at the front and the back

 

[ctmike 10+ year member]

two runs should be good. i'd also look into a bigger ho alt., that's alot of power your going to be running.

Yea thats on my list too, with the one i have now do u think id run into charging problems?

when you get your new bats, put one in the back and use that ones negative for the ground...

both hc2400's are going in the back, and stock is staying under the hood, i plan on manufacturing bus bars for the back batteries

ok well still, grounds on those negatives... dont want a 5'+ run of ground ...

im using 3 kinetik hc2400s and an hc 1800 as well as a 225 amp alt for my single goliath. i am getting a bracket made as well to get a second 225 amp alt.

They love teh currentz

ill still go overkill and ground front batt to frame, and back batts to frame aswell, then alt ground to same grounding point as front batt

dont alty's ground to the engine chasis they're atttached to? would it reall ymake a differance if you already have the big 3 done?

serious the ground up front is the best ground you could conceivably get by any standard
