how many batts should i get for...

[pimpedout97x]

Do you have system diagram on what you want to do? All those ampsfor mids and highs won't draw as much power from your electrical system

as you think if you play music. One 200A alt for those amps should be cool.

didnt really want to post cuase its just going to turn my thread to shit but oh well.

I'm talking for your entire setup, the 4000Ds AND the mess of 2chs. Run a seperate 16V alt for the 4000ds and then the other for the 2ch...

oh, ya im gonna have a seperate 16v alt for the 4000Ds for sure.

And get another HO alt for the mess of 2chs, probably about 200A and give it a 2 batt reserve; and 2-3 for the 16V line...

2-3 what, batts? just 2 batts for the 4000ds??? im confused

i understand get a HO alt and like 2 batts for the mids. but what u suggest for the 16v setup

i cannot imagine the amoutn of wire for all this. everybody is obssesed with batteries these days. get your alternator and wiring sqaured away before batteries.

i can't believe you wanted to run all this crap plus batteries on a stock alt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

at least 2 batts plus the 16V amp for the 4000'ds. You might be able to get away with just the alt on the string of 2ch but I'd stick a batt in the chain just for securities sake.

Ice brings up a good point...have you any idea how much your going to spend on wire?

Shit yea...all the inline fuse holders, fuses, terminals, and lengths of wire. I'd imagine somewhere in the $400 range....

i spent about $100 to wire up 2 amps, so all these amps plus batteries has got to be over $400. best bet is too find a welding supply store to sell you a whole spool of wire

Or go to an electrical contracting place and ask if they'll sell a spool. Last shop I was at had rolls of 100', 200' and 400' of 1/0 and up....

 

[pimpedout97x]

i have 100 ft of 1/0

and 100 ft of 16ga.

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

thats not enough

you need many more.

 

[pimpedout97x]

why

 

[j3bus2k3 5,000+ posts]

why

Lawl, I used 100 feet easy simply for 2 amps in my SPL explorer. 4 runs (2 power/2ground) from the front batt to the rear 2; Big 3 and wiring amps to rear batts...

 

[pimpedout97x]

all my batts will be in the rear, including the start battery. wont be anything under the hood except for alternators.
