Battery suggestions for setup.

[stephens30228 10+ year member]

I finally convinced my wife we need something better to power my Orion 2500d, so my question is right now I am running 1500 @2 but when I get another 9512 I will be running 2500 or so @1, what battery do y'all suggest to run so I don't drop in voltage and have no dimming? I have a stock front battery and a 130amp alternator. Any other questions I can answer. Thanks.

It really depends on ur total systems rms.. I've had no problems with 2 Optima d34/78 yellow tops, and a db elect 200 amp alt. I have the Orion hcca 2500, and an Alpine pdx 2 ch. and 4 ch. amp.. Do the math bro.. run a single 1/0 awg front to back batt, and you should be good.. your alt is probably borderline with the draw from that monoblock, but you should be good if you get a couple of yellow tops w/ the 1/0 gauge.

Optima Yellowtops and a capacitor if you aren't running one already..Alternator upgrade is never a bad idea and like the above poster said make sure your power and grounds are of sufficient size.
