Yeah. I just looked at dc and they have lowered there price a few months ago a alt for my car was $600 now $550.lol. I have to see what Mechman can do for me on a 270a unit.

Bad things? I won't go that big it was just a thought. I will probably will still have 1 aq2200 and will upgrade to 2. So 1 to each pair of 15s at 1 ohm each.

I was saying that as in I don't compete and I think since I might get a alt I might run two aq or sundown 3500s. Maybe a atomic or cactus 7k. I'm doing 4 15d either way. Maybe a big battery bank and two 4500s. I figure the alt will set back my install about 3 months because I'm about to be a struggling college student.

Alright I might use graduation money for the alt and install of the whole system. Now I'm thinking if i get a alt i might as well go all out and run multiple amps. Damn this will be my second system(first in this car) might be overkill(if there is such a thing).

Ok answer me this question. If I get a H/O alt will it void my powertrain warranty getting it put on and using it?

Well nothing is for certain. I would think two kinetic 1800s in the back would be cool. I can get them for $189 each. If i was to get a alt I would be buying from either Mechman or Dc power. they aren't exactly cheap.

Yeah but what size.

Money issues.

No H/O for a while.

I want 4 sundown sa-12 but i want to eventually run 2 on one aq2200 and 2 on another aq2200 at 1Ohm each. Do i need 4 2Ohm DVC subs or 4 4Ohm DVC subs? Also is there any way i can run all 4 off of one aq2200d at 1Ohm until i get another one?

thanks guys

sorry for waiting so long but yes. I do plan to compete Heavily.

Ok guys I have a 2010 tahoe with my stock alt and a DC 270 xp alt. They are both on a bracket, but what I really want to know is how to run my second alt at 18v. PLEASE be very detailed because I did not put the alt in and have very little experience with this sort of thing. Thanks ahead of time.

Ok thanks I was wondering about the vcm ok yea and the alt will be connected to the 16volt battery bank. Also can anyone chime in on the remote wire statement?

I was looking at the SHURiKEN+SK-BT80 and it looks close to the hc1800 in specs so I was wondering if it would be just as good?

I am planning on putting a system in my stock 05 Dodge ram 1500 Quad-cab and wanted to know if my electrical could handle it if i added a couple of batterys in the back? I don't want to buy a alt because i will be getting rid of the truck in about a year or so. the amp will push one DC lvl4XL or Lvl5 I have the whole back seat to work with for space If anyone needs any other specs just ask. Thanks for help in advance.

Cool cause I will probably drive around with them 2 days before I put the amp in.

Oh, Ok because i,ve heard people say that new cells have to be charged by a battery charger.

I will probably get one at first and then a second down the line. Oh since this is my first major install by myself. If I get new batterys is there a special way I charge them for the first time?

Thanks

So would a small bank of 2 kinetic 1400 or 1800 be enough? Also because kinetic batterys are 12v can they be used with my truck if it runs at 14.4v?

x2. He makes a good point on running a smaller battery bank because it's going to be on a stock alternator. The alt will not be able to charge those kinetiks I'm open to suggestions would 1600's be good or smaller. I'm still learning so use detail.

I saw those vids a while ago, thanks for giving me a link to the whole group.

What would be the best way to run the wire i was thinking a 1/0 run from the front to each battery, but would it be better to ground each battery by itself or just connect them all and let the starter battery ground handle the work?

thanks for the help
