Does anyone on here use a two battery setup.Im having the problem with my headlights dimming and want to add another 1000 rms so im going to do the big 3 and get a yellow top do you think ill need a new alt or can i just get two yellow top batteries??

 

i have a yellow top in my trunk. everything else is factory. meaning my alternator n front battery.

 

Cool so your stock alty is charging both no prob how many watts rms are you running??

 

No need for a second battery especially with the power you are going to try to achieve.

 

Just adding more strain to your stock alternator...

 

I already have 1400rms and want about 2400 sorry if i wasnt clear.

 

in 2 listen 2 Don have fun...

 

Huh?? 123456

 

Then simply put, you need an alternator. Running stock I dont believe you even have 1400.

What amp(s) are these?

 

He wants to listen to me teach the kiddies.

 

i curently have an alpine mrd m1005(1000rms) and an alpine MRV-F345 (75x4) Im upgrading my subs comps and amp and wanted to know what kind of electrical work im in for....im also in the market to upgrade comps and was interested in rainbow So im actually running 1300

 

You would be able to educate me but im not too ignorant i know quite a bit about car audio(I think)Not saying that i have anything on your knowledge.

 

It wasnt meant as an insult to you at all. I dont know your knowledge and I dont judge. Just my usual sarcasm.

Although I must metion your already topping oout that stock alternator. I would move to an upgraded one, or more efficent amps. Whichever one appeals to you more since you want more power.

 

Oh i didnt mean it like that i didnt take it personaly i was just letting you know im not too much of an idiot.....where would you suggest getting a rebuilt alt and would you mind suggesting some more efficient amps in the 1400 - 2000 rms range..Thanks -Rick

 

For alternators I personally prefer Ohio Generator. There are alot of others as well though that Ill let other members chime in with.

As far as amps, are you sure you actually need that power? More efficent amp/solid built design can yield you the same results with much less power. Just trying to save you a bit here.

 

Yea im looking for improved sql if i can do it with less power that would be fine with me.

 

more efficient woofers with a lower power req
