wiring mulitiple batteries?

[pitbull239 2]

How do u wire multiple batteries? I know that you start at the alt. then wire from alt to batt. but then would you wire the positive side of batterie to the next batterie on the positive side and then continue if you have more batt?

[cheese20323 13]

wire everything in parallel DON'T do series it will double voltage and mess up your amp.

Your amp won't be the only thing fried heh

can you explain parallel process please?

one more thing, once you have ur batterie group all wired together does it matter what batterie you hook your amp or amps up to?

no.

Holy batman! You're going to have 7 of those beast's?!?!?

I'm trying to decide between adding 1 kinetik hc600 or 1 hc800.. and your having 7 3100 xs

btw my choice in battery brand is just because I have zero space to fit anything bigger then the ones listed.. anyone have a hc600 or hc800 by kinetik? I wanna know if they will even boost my system much at all if i'm running a sundown sax 1200d.

... I wish i could fit those sexy xs big daddy's in my car :trippy:

i currently am gonna use a Kinetik 600 for my new system. Only going to run 1000w but ill have that second battery plus the big 3. I would say get get the hc800 and then check your voltage after installing it

or you could replace your stock battery also

[Jd377 6]

Well I just did the big 3 this week and I have everything else stock ( alt, front battery ect. ) and my volts drop down low and Im only using a 1000w sony atm.. So I am trying to get a second battery since I have a Sundown sax 1200 on the way to my house this week arriving.. but then Im not sure if i have enough for the hc800. I was planning on getting the 800 but im super low on money with college payments.. so I thought about getting the 600 and then getting an 800 at christmas... so i was going to see if the 600 could hold me over until christmas because once christmas got here i would have stock batt plus hc600 + hc800, But i dont want to waste my money on the hc600 right now if it wont even be able to do squat to the sundown.. since ill be pushing around 800-1200rms.

I could try and save up for the 800 and get it in like 4 weeks maybe.. its just I know i will want to use the sundown amp this week when it arrives and I cant without at least some sort of upgrade :/

You can use the amp just keep the gains down and buy a voltmeter to watch the voltage on your amp, nobody says you have to use every watt on that amp when you hook it up.

I have a hc600 or hc800 (idr what it is) just sittin' in my extra/spare audio cabinet in my garage.. you want it?

I do have a voltmeter upfront next to my steering wheel that i installed and I know i technically can use it.. its just I dont wanna risk hurting it so ill have the gain on like 1/8 lol and it will be quieter then my crap amp now just from me being cautious

i would put the sundown in, no questions asked. you could be able to turn the gain more than 1/8th, just watch what your voltage is doing. if it's dipping low turn it down. if it's not as loud as you want and your voltage is fine turn it up (only to an extent. dont go crazy.) you should know how to set the gain.
