    Battery or Alternator?

    Mine is a daily ground pounder. With my setup, no. This is because I am running a single 15" SSA Zcon. My amplifier over powers my subwoofer. So I will never get to that point of playing balls to the wall currently. I am able to play my Zcon extremely loud for the entirety of the ride though, yes. I'm sure there is. See if you can find a D3400 from XS power, or something similiar. When I only had my stock battery, and my AQ1200, my lights would dimm, even while driving. But it would be extremly fast. When your lights begin to struggle to gain back its brightness, that is when something is not right/safe. Hmm, do you think 2 10's @ 900RMS could be a balls to the wall system? How much were both your batteries combined? And my lights do un-dim rather quickly. I don't think I'm in any serious danger, just the average dimming you normally see. The size of the subwoofers is irrelavent. It all depends on the additional electronics your introducing demands. 2 10s @ 900 watts to be balls to the walls system would have to consist of two SSA Xcons My stock batttery came with the vehicle. I payed 500$ for two D3100s, one was damaged in sipping Thats good for now, but you have to remember, with each dimm, your hurting your vehicle's system.

    I DID NOT HAVE one of those!!!! lmao I first sprayed the emblem down with that turtle wax sticker remover from walmart. I was gonna use goof off? But I couldn't find it. i was also gonna use a flat hard plastic skweggi?(damn it I can't spell.). But I could find one there either. So I just used a hard plastic tool. I like, turned it sideways and scrapped away. Only took 90 mins FML. Taking off the badge itself was easy. I just sprayed it down, took my blow dryer, and heated it up really good. took some fishing line, went behind the emblem, and just slid underneath it. Then it just came right off.

    Ok, sweet! Just, when your redoing your grounds, take some sand paper and sound down both the ring terminals and the metel your attaching them to. you want them to be super shiny! You can fing cheap Welding Cable from Wireandsupply.com and Weldingsupply.com

    Many people are just giving you "their" advise. You can't/don't want to do that, then don't. But don't get offended by others suggestions either, after all, you are the one who asked. I wouldn't go by other ppl's system in the world either. Lol. A lot of bad things can happen when following ppl on youtube. 900watts may not seem a lot to you, but you have to remember when that vehicle was designed, it was not design to handle anything else more than the vehicle's needs. So, you can't be pissed at the system, if the manufacture did not design the car for what your trying to do to it. With 900 watts, your at the max load of running a system with a stock electrical anyway. Most stock vehicles can only handle an additional of 750-1200 watts. This is fact. If you feel the need of more power, but lights are dimming, I would suggest turning down the gain, because light dimming and other symptons will only lead to something failing. This is just a fair warning.
  9. Great advise from all the above. Another route you could take, is to simple install one piece at a time, and go from there. Like, add one g31 batt, if that doesn't work, then install another, if that doesn't work, etc etc etc. Also, buy a volt meter, and see where your going. If you are droping to below 12.8 or so constantly, then I would suggest investing into an H/O alt, I suggest going with Singer Alternators. My current install consist of 1 Factory 130a alt, one batt from wal mart under the hood, and one D3100 in the rear. Using a BC5500 and my voltage has been great.

    I honestly don't see why is it so difficult for you to grasp such an easy concept. Many respectable members here have given you more than enough information in regards what you should do and why. If you don't want to spend more on parts than equipment, then buy better equipment. Do some research, and find equipment that is more efficient than what your running now. When it all comes down to it, you either spend a lot of money on equipment, or a lot of money on what to you refer to as "parts". That is the basics for a budget system. Again, many members here have answered these questions for you. The reason why most competitors use a single Alt, is because, in my situation, to stay in the class I want to run in, the max limit is a single alt, which in turns, is the reason for multiple large batteries. This can be done because in my situation, and with others, you only need 2-3 SECONDS to recieve your score. Now, when you go see other people, who run 10k, 15k, 20k rms, they use multiple alternators, most likely because their goal was to be a daily ground pounder. In this scenerio, there is a constant draw or command from the electrical to keep up with the system. This is where and why you will see 2-6 alts in a single install. Each system is different, and only calls for certain equipment/parts. You don't have to go through "all this", to maintain a properly equipped system. As stated before, just do the basics, and don't skimp over anything. The reason you must go through all this is to prevent failure. Thats like, asking why do you have to study in school, when other students never study a day in their life, but yet have all A's. Its a peer to peer basis. In my current system. I run a single Crescendo 5500, 1 stock 130a alt, one battery under hood(from walmart), and one D3100 in the rear. And that is it. But monitoring my voltage is very key. I never drop below 13.5 volts while driving, and nothing below 12.7 while in idle. Yes I have all 1/0 wiriing, multiple powers, and multiple grounds in different locations. But hell, you can get a 1/0 kit off ebay for 30$ nowadays. I would suggest you to get 10ft of 1/0 to upgrade to the big 3. Charge your current battery over night a parts store (its free), and go from there. Also, buy a volt meter, so that we are no longer playing guessing games of where your voltage is. Its 25$ off ebay, I know, I know, that might be a whole lot of money, but it is important for you to know where your at.

    IAK needs an "IHOP"

    808, I know exactly what that poping is lmao. I'm not sure what amp your using. But with the aq1200, it never made this noise. Not until I crank it up with the 5500 does it make this noise. And it only makes this noise on notes above the tuning. The night I was drunk, I let it do it about 16 times lmao. So the one time you did it, nothing should be bad. This poping noise can also be, very sutle, or it can be loud as PHUCK. NP chucky pooh bear Everytime I install something, something else breaks She wanted the D, so thats what I gave her. LMAO. Remember that story you told me about chuck... The story of "her" trying to "prove" to you that she can when all the girls couldn't, well yeah, thats what was going on lol. Jesse wants to be like me bish, cuz I'm loud. Don't be jelly bish.

    @dbsupra, I would guess that the two pieces are placed at the weakest points. Which should be sufficient.

    The original cap began to come off. Due to too much power being applied outside of its freq range for extended periods of time.
