how many batterys?

pretty much like the topic says i just want some opinions

how many batts should you run on 2 SAZ-3000d's with a 225amp alt ?

oh and also just fyi im looking in to getting either kinetik HC 2400's or powermaster D3100's and a

HC 1400 upfront so #'s in that atrospect

[Adrian_D 520]

I'm thinking a single HC2400 along with the 1400 up front would be ok, but it never hurts to have more current

Maybe Jacob would be the best to know ?

I'm going to be running about the same thing. 2 SAZ 3000D's and a 200 amp alternator.

I'm putting a Kinetik 1400 up front, and 3 Kinetik 2000's in the back with about 10 runs of power and grounsd from the front. Like Adrian said, never hurts to have more current..

I would think though, the single 2400 and a 1400 like Adrian said though would work. But I always overkill everything, but thats just me...

yeah i hear ya on that one as well i like to over kill things as well then i think i will stick with the 4 i was gonna run the hc 1400 upfront and 3 in the back still undesided on weather or not i want the powermasters or the kinetic. but both would be a good choice from what i have seen and have been told. thanks for the help fellas.

i run 1 saz 3000d and a sax 100.4 i have 1 red top. 1 yellow top... and another brand of AMG... i use all sealed and i have about 3300 crankin amps... i do just fine!

infact i posted a vid yesterday i played HARD for 2 mins or so at idol and when i get back in mycar i was still above 13. volts when i got back in..

ok i need a little more help lol i just orderd my 2 18" BTL's loaded 2 3000D's a 300amp ireggi alt 4 kicker tweets and all the 0guage wiring ect to hook everything up but i spent all my cash and have nooo money for batts so the question is with the 300 amp alt should i just run 1 3000d with the subs intill i get the batts or should i strap the amps and run them at 4ohms so they are not pulling there full potential current im just trying to figure out a safe way to run the amps till i can get the extra batts i should beable to get just 1 d3100 in a few days but as of now i have no extra cash just droped bout 4500 on all the other stuff

i'd run somethin larger than 1/0 wire from batt up front to amp in the rear if u have no batt in the rear.

To the original poster-

2 3kw amps wont do good off of an alt that only has enough juice to run one of those amps minus the Entire car!

batts in the rear are like a voltage stabilizer. The less reserve time you have, the quicker your voltage will deplete. 300A alt can't run all that power alone so some will come out of the batts.

That's why you should have the recommended batt power in the rear. Now, if your alt could run the ENTIRE stereo AND car too, then all you would really need minimally is a large ass wire runnin back there with a good batt up front. Never hurts to had a little sumthin sumthin in the rear for support.

Also when using Kinetik's calculator thing for seein how many of what batts you need, don't count the batt up front to help you with your demand in the back.

It "might" tag along but i wouldnt recommend it.

If you have 6,000w of power back there, you need one of the following in the rear-

3 HC2000s

4 HC1400s

2 HC2400s 1 HC1400

2 HC2400s 2 HC800s

Anything less is less reserve time which equals quicker voltage drops. I can't tell you how quick because that depends on what is being played\how it's recorded\duration, bla bla bla..

thats cool well my plan is to run 4 powermaster d3100 batts biggest one they make its rated for 3100 max amps 1 upfront and 3 in the back but like i said all i can possible afford atm is 1 d3100 it will prob take about another month or so to get the other 3 im going with powermaster cuz there a little cheeper rated for more current and dominick recomended them to use with his alts said he has nothing but problems with the kinetics but either or thats what i plan on doing so your saying with what i got now i should only run one of the amps till i get the other 3 batts

[shizzzon 461]

hook em both up if it's easier to get it done now, just don't run em full tilt unless your doin it like burps.

I can't argue about durability because i have yet to own either brands personally but the Kinetik's offer HIGHER aH and reserve times then Powermaster does.

You are going by the CA rating which should only be looked at for burping, not for music if that's your goal.

k yea ill just strap them and wire the subs for 2ohms which means each amp sees 1 ohm right? and just run them with the gain about 10% till i get the batts

[acex3a 5]

hiow many strands of 1/0 would u recamend for 2 3000's from front bat to back bats?

have the same set up but 2 runs.

[dsgfierce1 0]

well i have been told a bunch of dif things either you can have a run for each cell stright from the front batt to each of the cells in the back or a run for each cell from the alt to each of the cells in the back or you can run one run from the front batt and link all the batts in the back together in parallel not sure what would be the best

well i worked out something with what extra $$ i have i can get a powermaster d1200 and a d3100 for the back for the time being with a yellowtop upfront that should be ok till i get the other 3 d3100 right ?
