? concerning electrical upgrades to be done and will this suffice?

[theothermike 10+ year member]

Right now my electrical consists of 1/0 gauge big three. 2 batteries. big capacity under hood and med - small battery in back. 1/0 gauge power run to battery. then another 1/0 gauge run to distro which splits in 4 gauge kollosus wire to power terminals on amp. 4 gauge from amp grounds to distro to a 1/0 gauge wire.

I getting about 12.5 volts at amp idle with music on med - high.

im running sundown 1000D proto - 90 amps rated

and sundown sax 100.4 90 amps rated

however ill be either getting another 1000D and strapping or selling 1000D and buying a 1500D and running at 1 oh.

Ill also be buying a 100.2 and going active....

Ill have to add another 1/0 gauge run to another distro probably

Here what i thinking of buying

either a 180 amp iraggi alternator dominator series with 80 amps at idle

or 200 amp iraggi alternator dominator series with 70 amps at idle

And possibly upgrading batts to a 1400 - 1800 kinetik under hood and a 2400 in back

or going 34 yellow top optima and group 31 yellow top in back

Out of all the options which would u pair up with which and u think itll be sufficient to run what i going to run?

i would do the 200 amp alt with a smaller pulley and the 1800 and 2400.

tell him what you are wanting to do, that way he can get you what you need. he has pulleys and such even mods the stator to give more power on low end. batteries are good to match up with. some people will say no some will say always. key point though is an alt isnt always putting out peak power (rpm load dependant) so the batteries act like a safty cushion while the engine is on. second battery will lower the voltage drop from front to back. also big benifit if you ever do engine off listening
