@TheDoozie43 3 года назад

I just bought a d6500 for under hood, they are rated for 3000/4000W on the Xs power website. I’m still learning as well, so not sure why the range. Maybe under hood versus supplemental? I’m running a sundown scv4k on two American Bass hd12s @ 1ohm, a JL audio xd400/4 @ 2ohms on doors and a Singer 270a alt, so another lithium battery for the trunk is in my future as soon as I scrape up $500 and $100 for a charger. House payment and kids come first of course! Gotta pay to play and it NEVER ends like I unknowingly promised my wife at the beginning lol 🤷‍♂️ I’m lucky she is cool with it (for the most part haha).

@krazedtechie2848 3 года назад

You should always do alternator first batteries don’t create amps they store it. A factory alternator has its limits. You can add more batteries but you can only charge them so fast so if your sucking everything from the alternator the batteries are gonna charge slower.

@dwaynecheatom6859 2 года назад

@LowetheTechGuy 2 года назад

Not necessarily, it is very much possible to run a stock alt and not have issues with charging. If you have plenty of Lithium or can get double or triple what's required with a 240a alternator (for example) then a 3 minute song full tilt may very well be achieved. I'm pretty sure I just saw a guy with a pretty healthy system on stock alt on JacobViral but I could be mistaken.

@Hertzsogood219 4 года назад

Thats how I figure it too. I get voltage drop as well because I need more power. I need a higher output alt im running an ebay 250 amp alt and its only putting out 180 at 2000 rpm and I agree about getting more batteries first. Thats what im working on now. I only have 3 115ah deep cycle batts which is not enough even with the 180amp alt. I'm trying to push 4600 watts and the vehicle I have uses alot of amps on it own, especially with the air on. You may have to give you're system a break to let the alt get the batteries back up but you can always get a high output alt later when you can afford it. My system does 150's but I know I can get more out of it with more power. Thanks for the video Jacob.

@CoreMaster111 3 года назад

Those cheap high power alts are shit. They often produce as much or slightly more power at idle than your OEM alt with much less max output. And you get max output from one of them cheap alts if you're running your engine at 50+ % RPM. Not to mention that these cheap alts also have poor voltage regulators which are slow to react and thus cause sudden battery voltage drop when your bass hits hard. I just made this stupid mistake.

@Hertzsogood219 3 года назад

@@CoreMaster111I hear you. It was definitely a waste of money. It went out on me about 4 months ago.

@randomtube8226 4 года назад

I feel like the alt/s are more important then bat/s. So invest in the best alt you can get first. Then bat second. Also do the big 4 with 1/0 power cable. I say upgrade your electrical before you even plan on putting the system in. The reason I say alt first is that stran on charging the bats will short the lifespan of your alt. One tip i tell everyone. Is to not rely on the alt to keep the bats charged and manually charge them with a bat charger at least once a week or so. Hope this makes sense.

@TheDoozie43 3 года назад

Excellent point. You wouldn’t believe how many arguments I’ve been in about what you just said with self proclaimed “seasoned” car audio gurus lol. Afterall, the alternator provides all the power when the engine is running. Batteries are for reserve power when it’s off.

There is a physics law , it basically says you cannot get something from nothing.

@fishrrelaxing9361 7 месяцев назад

I see soo many people do this backwards! You run off the alt and the battery only supplies extra when needed for peaks.. Many start with a secondary battery then change the regular then the alt.. this is very inefficient and cost prohibiting.. a 300amp + alt cost the same or less as a single quality battery lol. Start with the alt.. then swap the wet cell for an agm.. if you need more then you add lithium cells not additional battery 🤷‍♂️. 99.9% of people will not need more then a 300amp alt and 100ah agm.. If planning to run multiple batteries or bank of some sort.. better off just spending the money after the alt to get a lithium battery.. it will stop the drops cause the lithium cells discharge way faster then agm cells.. wet batteries don’t like to discharge. They fight to retain power which is why you’re lights and such dim and your voltage drops so hard.. you’ll still drop with agm but you should drop below high 12’s..

After watching your video I learned a lot on how to calculate amps and wattages. With me still be new to the car audio I only had one amp at the time with everything stock. After some time now have a total of three amps tweeters, Mids and Sub I'm running Active. My total RMS is roughly 1304 total = 130 amps, I still have a stock Alternator and OEM battery I've looked online to find the alternator output but couldn't find it so I just added up all the fuses and divided it by 12 and got like 170amps. So with all that being said and seeing the last bit of your video since I am under 2000 and plan to stay under that should I even get a H/O alternator and instead just get an AMG battery? Amps I am using are two RE audio SA 90.4: 4 ohms 63x4 Skar RP-1200.1D - 2 ohms: 800watts for a Sundown Zv5 12" D2 in a ported box

@JacobViral2 2 года назад

I would just make sure you have done the big 3(4) which I have a video on channel if you search; and upgrade agm under hood and one in the back. Xs d3400 amzn.to/31bNEyl and under hood that works would be great for you.

@goobusthegreat8126 4 года назад

Could I use my stock lead acid up front and safely put an agm battery in the trunk? Or do I need to have the same types of batteries?

@3RDERA 4 года назад

Lot of different factors that will determine if you can get away with it, but the safe and reliable answer is no. The one that rests higher will get voltage taken from it(The battery that rests lower, will try to be the same as the other battery and take some of its juice to try and rest at the same voltage) slowly overtime it will drain the higher resting battery and deplete its life cycle substantially. This happens whenever the car is off. To help with this ,not fix it, you can run a battery isolater-that will help separate the batteries when The car is off. So they don’t fight each other, and when the car is on, they will be in parallel to give you the reserve capacity of both batteries. But just know that all batteries accept a charge differently from the alternator. So even Though the isolater will help to some extent, The lead acid will deplet faster more Th an likely than the agm when playing your system, and will demand more recharging more often, so the batteries will not be heating up and cooling down at The same time, nor producing their output potential at the same time, nor will they recover at the same time. Hope that helps somewhat. I’m no expert, but it’s a little I’ve picked up on over The years

@goobusthegreat8126 4 года назад

3RD ERA that clears up quite a bit. Thanks for the help but for now I’ll probably just upgrade the under the hood battery to agm

@terryw1945 4 года назад

You sure can. People must not know about a battery isolator.

@terryw1945 4 года назад

A battery isolator will keep it separate so you don't drain your stock battery. That's how I have my civic. And have for years.

@3RDERA 4 года назад

Goobus TheGreat. In most cases under 1000-1200 watts rms or so, you can get away with a single battery and stock alternator. Just be sure to have solid connections for power and ground( alternator charging wire to positive battery, alternator bracket/negative casing point to the chassis of the vehicle, engine block to chassis of vehicle, and battery negative to chassis/and or engine block)-Are examples of where you want a solid path for the current to flow. As long as the current flow has sufficient wire to pass through, and it’s installed in a manner to limit resistance (connection points solid, tight and corrosion free) and protected as best you can from being punctured and/or suffer from heat damage), you shouldn’t have any problems unless your current demand is more than your alternator and battery working in tandem can keep up with. I’d personally recommend ofc. That’s just my opinion. Best of luck. “Measure ten times and cut once, not measure once and cut ten times”
