I have 2 great hobbys, Porsche 914 and Car Stereo Sound.
I might not be faster than you guys, but I will have a very unique 914. I pulled all the stereo stuff out of my car, and I am starting all over. I just recieved my Kinetik batteries today. I got a HC1800 to replace my optima, the 1800 is rated at 1900 Amps. I also purchased a HC800 rated at 950 amps. I just found a upgrade 75amp alternator and a guy who will wind it to 120amp output to drop in place of the 55amp unit. I am going to be High Voltage! The totall draw on my stereo install will be about 120 amps at peak. I am keeping my amplifiers but building a different cabinet for the rear trunk. It will house both amps and the 800 power cell. I am ditching both capacitors that were in the trunk. The wiring will be upgraded from the alternator (Jeff Bowlsby) and I will run "0" guage from the batterys to hook togeather + to + and - to -. I will also add a few more heavy grounds from each battery to chasis and from chasis to engine. Yes there will be multiple inline fuses on the positive leads. (saftey first) I will update this thread with pics and progress as i go. (any comments) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

I dont believe i will ever be running at constant peak current draw.
Amplifier 1 Continuous current draw @ full power 55amps peak current draw @ full power 85amps Amplifier 2 Continuous current draw @ full power 30 amps peak current draw @ full power 40 amps The rest of the processors and head unit do not pull a noticeable amount. The extra kinetik battery is more powerful than 200 of the 1 farad caps i just took out of the trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I dont think I will have any problems with 120 amp alternator charging the batteries. Time will tell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
