[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8270764, member: 614752"] I'd at least double up on batteries and if you have 2 alternators I'd hope you have 1 or 2 runs of 1/0 to the rear. Running 6 or 8 1/0 cables from front to rear seems most helpful in DB Drag "street" class and similar where you're limited to only battery under the hood. Are those amps even designed for 18V or are they designed to make best power at real world (after drop) voltages? I know some of the DD amps are designed to run at 12V assuming you're dropping from high 14's. If they'll do 18V and you're thinking of replacing the batteries you could easily buy some 16V batteries to replace your back bank and use the HO alternator dedicated to just the amps. Any pics of the current setup? [/QUOTE]
