What do I need to support 5kw for daily?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I have an 1100A batt under the hood, the big 3 is done in 2/0awg, I have upgraded my alt to an Iraggi 220A, and I have 2 Stinger SPV35's in the back. Will this be enough to support 2 Cadence ZRS-10's? Main Power and Ground are 0awg. If this is not sufficient than what would i need to add? I do not want my voltage dropping too much. Any input is welcome.

i would get another battery, and maybe even replace the 1100A batt. I have a kinetik2400 with a total of around 2200watts, big 3, and only a 130amp alternator, and i get some dimming.

any other suggestions?

Overkill is good...

For my Goliath I use 1 Kinetik 2400 under the hood, 3 in back. Big3 in 1/0, and a 225 amp alternator

I've got 1 Optima Red Top under the hood, and one Yellow Top in back with the big three in 1/0, and the main run of power wire from front batt to back batt in 4/0:wow: , and 4/0 going from the 2nd batt to the amp. An Excessive Amperage 225 alt. I have a MA HK4000D, and I get a little bit of dimming.

most here have a good idea. imho an extra battery or 2 is a plus when dealing with that much power. the more power you have the more the power it needs swings. double the power double the size of the swing...

SPV35's are the small ones right?

I'd maybe get two more of those for the rear.

Nevermind, I looked....

We sell the SPV44's... and the SPV35's are even smaller.

I'd recommend a MINIMUM of two more SPV35's...

Or get rid of them and do TWO SPV70's... or other deep cycles.

I thought Cadence produced underrated stuff. Does anyone on here have experience with the Cadence ZRS-10? Will it do rated power? Or even close?

 

[perfecxionX 10+ year member]

thats what i thought, these seem to be an exception though

it is hard to believe they are overrated by that much.

i assume your looking at the refurbs for 250?

yeah

I have a Cadence ZRS-9, I don't have any numbers to back it up, but after testing the same sub/box on a few different amps, I'd say the Cadence does what it says it will do.
