thanks for the comp, how come you can get the pics into your reply? I had so much probs with voltage and current as I run deep bass almost all the time on my way to work. This means I got the lights heaters and wipers on and i am in traffick so the revs dont go up much. I was just fed up with the power drops that I went for the option of the 2nd alt as a number of comp cars have this. I am using the Alpine MRD 1000 but I can now look at much bigger amps for my system. I will slot a bigger mono block just as soon as the cash flow will allow.

where's that 1 volt drop when i stick my meter leads across my dist. block?

I am told that a fuse drops a volt due to resistance? am I right?

I did a little test on my "cheap" dist block and found a 0.01 volt drop across my main fuse (120A). That was with a low current tho, things will probly heat up at high current but I doubt it will result in a whole one volt drop.

The Kinetick batt as described is rated as 81 amps? How do you get this up to 190Amps?

Kinetik HC1800 Power Cell Full size powerhouse. Fits vehicles with larger battery boxes. Capable of powering nearly any system without compromise. Specifications Weight: 54 lbs. Ah: 81 Amps: 1900 Dimensions: 10" x 6.5" x 8.2"


im not sure what you are getting at but i have the HC2400 and it has
Specifications
Weight: 69 lbs.
Ah: 128
Amps: 2600
Dimensions: 13" x 6.7" x 8.5"
Suggested Retail: $449.00

i was going to hook up two P600.1bd to two 12 inch alpine r's. I work at Best Buy so, i get uber discounts on this stuff and almost went crazy and did it, but it would have destroyed my car. LOL loud stereo ftw
Thanks for the comps guys, we over here will normally take out the AC unit and replace it with a 2nd Alt. However as you can see by the pics all stock parts are still in. I had to move the fuse holder to make room. The difference between 14.4V and 12V on my Alpine MRD 1000 is 500W to 350W @ 4 ohms. This is more pronounced at 2 ohm loads. So 2.4 volts makes a big difference to my bass and when you chuck in the AV and under car lighting set up 7 tubes (exterior) and five tubes (interior) you quickly run out of volts. I also use a auto blow electronic fuse in the engine bay and another in the boot just in case The line is severed in a crash as I do not want to fry with the caps pushing all that power (3 Farads). I am now looking for Solo Baraic (square Sub 15) and a beefy mono block to claim top spot in the Bass stakes. Any ideas on this setup guys???
