is this electrical setup sufficient?

[wafsman 10+ year member]

i am going to be powering an Audioque 4X90 and an Audioque 2200D, was wondering if the planned electrical upgrades would be sufficient enough.

Kinetik HC1800 up front and another Kinetik HC1800 in the back

Knukonceptz KonFused +/- Battery Terminals for both batteries

1/0 ga welder's cable for big 3 upgrade

1/0 ga welder's cable for power/ground run from front to back

1/0 ga welder's cable for 2200D

4 ga welder's cable for 4X90

Knukonceptz KonFUSED High Current In-Line Fuse Holders ran after second battery in rear, 3x 30A fuses for the 4X90 and 3x 100A fuses for the 2200D

8 ga wire for the subs

10 ga wire for the components

haven't decided if i will need a h.o. alternator or not, what do you think?

depends what your running. What subs and whatnot.. And how strong is your stock alt. What amps?

you need 60 amps on the 90x4 and 200 on the 2200, your saying your doing 90 and 300.

This is the same set-up ill be running except i have one 1800 and a 200 Amp Alt. Ill be adding another 1800 soon though. I suggest get an alt.

stock alt amperage would be nice to know mah brotha

Dont you think you should fuse the first 17 feet of power wire as well?

I hope he just forgot to say that

stock alt i believe is 100A

running two 12" VFL's and a pair of Alphasonik 3-way components

it's my first time running a dual battery setup, this was the plan, the fuses will be a lot less than 17' from the amps and the rear battery, will this not work?

You be aight I guess

fuse the power wire between batteries on both ends

you really dont needa ground from the front batt to the back....doesnt hurt but not needed

^ i was told to do so to. (run the ground from the front batt to the rear batt.

and im similiar to his setup just less power alphasonik pma1000da and a infinity 7540 so 200amp + 60 amps

my fac alt is 105 i think. but i know i can get an 140 from autozone but screw that i want a real hi output alt. Something like 200 amps. i was going to keep the 1000cca batt under the hood and kin 2400 in trunk. will this be ok for me? figured i'll ask since were almost the same. (not trying to thread jack)

Don't mix AGM and conventional type batteries if you can help it. It shortens the lifespan of the batteries. Just a suggestion, but do what you can afford. With a 2400 in the rear, you could use a 1400 up front.

fuse the power wire between batteries on both ends

within 18" of each battery (yes 2 fuses on the same wire). What will be enough is pretty hard to say without trying it and watching for dimming. The system we just finished is anout 1800 watts and we put a kinetik KR 5112 (hc1400 sized) and a KR 1212 (hc1200 sized) in and it does fine for now but the 230 amp alt will be here Friday. It is always best to have a little too much than not enough.

i always thought so but the techs at kinetik said it was ok lol. but i might just say the hell with it and run a 1800 under the hood and no battery in the back with the biggest alt i can fit under my hood.

so i need to just add another fuse on the power running to the back battery and keep my other fuses that are running to my amps? or are you saying i need to move the fuse from being after the second battery to before the second battery and still put one up in the engine side?
