Yes, in parallel.

I picked up a 150amp off of ebay, you could go that route.

two things,
1) Use a single aftermarket alternator that puts out more AMP's.
2) Use capacitors in your sterio system.

What's the max amperage of your system at full draw? Also, what IS your system i.e.brand and model?

no not in comp just like haveing loud system. lol. i have know idea what amprage im drawing. i dont have the hole system yet im waitting on the amps. but i would rather have more amps then not enough. I know i was running like 1000 Watts rms to each sub with the 200amp alt, and the cap. and the lights would dim untill i reved the engine up to like 2000 or 2500 rpms, and i know any more wattes and my light will dim at 2000 rpms. And how would i hook up two alt, like mount them i mean.

Try running two batteries instead

SkylineUSA · #14 03-02-2005, 05:47 PM

That is funny, I run 2 Boston Acoustic 12 subs, with 2 8s, 6 6 1/2 Boston Acoustic Pro Series 3 way compents, 5 JL Audio 300/2 amp with just a 120 amp alt, and no caps.

What is the battery you are running? How many CCA?

I don't like caps, I would prefer to run an additional battery in parallel. Caps are no good in my book, been in Electronics for almost 20 years.

Yeah, with my set up I'm still running the OEM battery!!!! I do have a 1.5 Farad cap but that's about it.
