Electrical Upgrades

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I am going to be running 4 Orion P series 15's off of 2 Viper 1200's and I also have a Viper 200.4 that i will be running for the doors. I already have a 1 farad cap and I am going to get a 200-225 amp alternator. I was wondering if these upgrades would be enough or if i should go ahead and get a battery because I do not want any voltage drops. This is going in a 2004 Durango 4.7L

you'll be fine, you may not even need the cap. try it without it and see.

caps are over-rated ditch that thing and get a big amp battery under the hood like a 1000amp or so, mabey even get two batteries, also try and get the bigest battery you can (amp wise) with the lowest internal resistance. what this does is lets the battery discharge and recharge faster so you expirience less voltage strain. and that will be plenty for your electrical system. Also if you have a big alt. and not enough battery to suport it, the alt. dosent really help you at all. its all about the batteries. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
