anybody no how you hook up a voltage meter, a stinger one? i plan on getting one just didnt know where i should hook it up at, i guess it would be best on the amp? do you just wire up to the power wire and run it to where you mount the meter at? thanks

Exactly, hook it up to the power and ground of the amp to get an accurate reading of your volts.

how big of a battery would i need in back? how many cranking amps to handle the zx2500.1? would a kinetik Khc2000 be enough in the back and a like kinetik 600 or 800 up front? and run the stock alt with that for now,thanks

also what does AH mean, like it says for instance 85 AH, what does that mean on a battery? also as anyone heard of SHURiKEN deep cycle batteries? thanks

 

[zackdash 10+ year member]

AH = amp hours

i think?

 

[Villeza1 10+ year member]

AH = amp hoursi think?

correct

 

[crfrider 10+ year member]

well i mean what does that mean like how long the battery will last?

100 amp hours per 1000wrms is ideal rule of thumb...
