big 3, highout put alternator, red top for under hood yellow top for in trunk?

try red top and yellow top before alternator if it seems fine no voltage drops. if it does drop id try a high output

I think you will do fine with your stock alt. I say get about 3 g31 batteries and you will be good!

only running around 2500rms you can get away with one big battery in the back, and big 3 and if needed i dont think u might need two batts in the back

i got the stock 130amp alt, no big 3, gold duralast 1000amp upfront and 1/0 wire to the back for ground and power to a stinger spv70 and i am only droping to 12.5-12.7 at the battery and 12.2 or so at the amp and thats running a zx1500.1 set for 1600rms and a zx850.4 so roughly 2300rms

if you upgrade both front batteries and do big 3 and get a big battery in the back you will be good

trunk? its a truck, you rolling diesel? two batts, i would look into group 31 batts, lots of companies out there, there kinetic 2400s, big yellowtops and big redtops, powermaster, deka, just check em out and buy the best ones you can afford, and if they fit stick em in there, i would for sure do the "big 3" or in your case the big 5 or 6 with two batts up front, i would just upgrade eletrical wires, new batteries, and see how it sits, then if its still dimmin or your having voltage drops, i would get a H/0 alt, it depends on what you wanna do with it do, but i dont know much, but in my car i got 3k ish watts, red top under the hook deka 9a31 in back and a 220 amp alt and my system is good to go

I will most likley have to just replace the batts up front, I need to find out if they need to be a certain CCA rating to crank the truck.No extra room in the rear for batts. Stupid big box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
