i'm not looking to spend money right away... but i have a stock alt (100amp) and plan on running 2 cc-d1200s off my stock elec... with one right now it's fine..

i'm only running 4 gauge wire right now and using a distro to the two amps...

i only want to run this daily, not looking to score high at comps, just to use it daily without killing my elec...

no big 3, no second battery...

91 chevy blazer btw...

stock battery...

what would you recommend for an ideal daily setup with 2400rms to get the full potential out of my amps??

You're running a 4awg main feed to a 2.4kW system?

I'd change that. Soon.

The two SX idea bit the dust?

Run a second four gauge for the second amp and upgrade your alternator.

You drive a Blazer. I've seen a picture of your tailgate area...you've got the room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would probably go with at least a 185-200a alt. Do the big three (at least upgrade the battery ground and alternator positive lead) and get a deep cycle battery.

140 amp minimum, get a 200 if you can but make sure the alt can charge at idle.

Edit- **** frost, you did it again.

eek... how much for all that? (estimate of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

Depends. Do a few searches for...

Mean Green

Ohio Generators

Excessive Amperage

Dom Iraggi

to get an idea how much one should cost. The wire itself is cheap, and you can pick up a good deep cycle for around $150.
