big 3 ...better batteries...updated alt

Just get an Optima from Autozone so you get a nice warranty, do the big 3, and go from there... If you still dim, get an alternator. I think you'll be fine though.

just yellow?

or add it to the rear?

just yellow?or add it to the rear?

putting the yellow top under the hood will void the warranty. red top under the hood.

so red top under the hood then

Cold Crank Amps 800; Crank Amps 1000; Reserve Capacity 110; Ampere Hour 50

looky good?

and another questions with the anl fuses

my alt is 105A

is going

300a at the batt

150a and 100a at the splitter unsafe for the rest of the electrical?

any thoughts on what fuses i should use for my system mentioned above?

putting the yellow top under the hood will void the warranty. red top under the hood.

Can you post a link to where it shows that? Optima's site recommended the YT for under my hood replacement and did so for my other vehicles as well. I've never had a problem with warranty. It is always hassle free.

Yea im not sure about that warranty thing either, they also recommend a yellowtop for my car...and ive seen it advertised.

I would get a redtop tho unless your planning on deep cycling the battery, and do the big 3 as it does help with dimming.

Honestly, I can't imagine with that kind of equipment you'd be pulling a significant amount of current. I don't assume you're a basshead with that list...if you are, you bought the wrong stuff //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Upgrade the Big 3, and perhaps battery if you feel like it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

: ) that's what i said but there are people that think differently ;] hmm

this should push around 1200-1700w so im sure the stock with keep up

mayb sum dimmin and im sure yellow top would fix it right up

i just dont want my electrical fryin cuz i did something wrong

better ask then do huh

D*mn I didnt know putting a YT under the hood voids your warranty. I say get a redtop up front and maybe YT or something else in the back. I know you'll upgrade, its in your blood once you get started
