what should my electrical look like to support these and the saz-100.4 ... i am debating on whether i want to buy 2 of these or just get the saz-4500d ... right now i have a 260 amp alt by iraggi and the stock was 130 amp ... i was thinking about buying some of the c and d 100 lb batteries (supposed to be comparable to the hc3800) ... how many would i have to buy to support this amount of power ... i understand i would need a bigger alternator but this is the biggest they make for my car and a dual alt setup is near impossible

u dont need larger alt, u would need about 300aH.

is that including the front battery? i am assuming no because that would only add up to around 560 amps

i also read that you can strap them down to a 1 ohm load so .5 per amp ... is this true? ... if so how much power will they be putting out?

I believe they are stable, but not under warranty once run that low.

I wouldn't advise running "daily". Jake might be able to advise more.

man, i run approx 7800w of power on a 250A alt and only 177aH in the rear with stock battery.

How does my electrical system stay fine? Simple, you can't listen to it that loud for more than a few seconds, it's all for competition so i dont need to carry around boatloads of reserve.

If u show off running at idle or just cant keep it revved at a comp, you need 300aH minimum suggested is my opinion.

with that much, u can sit there for a WHILE blastin it...

But you also dont want the alternator to charge a large bank back up or it could overheat.

D3100 per 3000d. So 2 3000d = 234aH. So... 300aH is plenty.
