I picked up a 2nd battery today. Wired it + from the front battery to positive on the back battery, Then positive from the back battery to + on the amp. Then with the front battery negative disconnected I connected negative from the back battery to ground on the amp. So with the car being shut off and the front battery negative disconnected my amp is on, I basically have constant power? What am I doing wrong? Do I have to connect both front and back grounds to complete a loop or what? Is there any chance of blowing my amp or anything else by trying it? My remote wire for the amp is hooked up to the deck n I jus don't get why my amp is constantly on when the front isn't hookd up. Helllpppp!!!

Stock alt is 130a, deep cycle is in the trunk, and it is grounded to the chassis with 0g knu cca. This morning it was reading 14.4, seems to be helping a little. I'm going to keep it and save for the 185a dc power alt or possibly a 200a singer

Well yea I had the front disconnected while hooking the rear up. I hooked it back up last. I'm not straight retarded lol

Sorry yall, I figured it out. Think there was a tiny frayed wire touching + to remote cus I cleaned it n made sure nothing was touching n it was fine then. Don't get me wrong the installs clean. Idk it was a crazy mishap I guess. Didn't have money for 2 new agms so I jus got a big deep cycle. Only running 2k but it didn't help much. Guess a ho alternator is a must? Heard singers r good n cheaper than mechman/dc power... Any links? Really don't have $500 for an alt...

I hear you. N if I could I'd upgrade my alternator in a heartbeat, just not an option right now. The battery I was guna get fell thru, pry a good thing since I shouldn't mix wet n dry. N I know I'm pry wasting $ in the long run but since I can't afford 2 new agms I'm down to one option n that's buying another wet. Honestly do Yall think it will even make a difference in my voltage? Or should I save for a d925 and an isolator kit? It's straight daily. I jus want to be able to play full tilt for a full song. Not even 20 minutes straight... (for now lol) I jus want to be able to enjoy my system. I guess if nothing else I could wire down and see if it does enough for me... I'm lost. I'd like to be able to buy all the right shit I need trust me, $ could be betr spent in other places...

Just installed my 15" bl running off a bc2k. Stock alt, big 3, and a gold battery up front (don't remember the brand but it was the best I could get from advance) voltage is ok until I'm full tilt. I was looking at a cheaper Xs power battery but there still $150. Any other brands I should b looking into? Looking for a cheaper price but I don't want a shitty battery

For sure. Most of the time I have my 2yr old daughter with me so I won't even have the sub on n my frontstage music up loud whatsoever. Pretty sure my stock alt is around 110-120amps. I know I need better but that's way to expensive. Hoping a 2nd n 3rd battery will do the trick for now

Well I know it's not 100% accurate but I gota stinger volt meter, calibrated it using a nice dmm... But it's wired to my amps + input I also know the clip light on my amp knob isn't 100% either n if it's a soft clip I don't trip but it was solid red when the voltage dips that low so between the 2 I know my electrical jus isn't cutn it. I don't compete, I'm not rich n I'm a single dad so the last place I can afford to spend a whole lot more $ is my system. I jus wanted a decent lil setup n tryna get it to where I can actually play it safely... And loud, I know I could wire lower than 1ohm but I don't think it'd get loud enough n then I wouldn't b satisfied. Car audio is addicting as fuck

How low is low?It went from 13.6 to 12.6 playn rack city, I was watching it close with my hand on the volume n turned it down in half a second. I jus know my electrical isn't ready to power the sub like it wants. I can tell it wants to get loud tho I can sit at idle with my deck at volume 28 n voltage stays above 13.5 n it's sum what loud. Turn it to 30 n it gets loud! But even while driving (rpms above 2k) it still dips Below 13 so I can't turn it up like I'd like to... Yet

That battery isn't available in NE and it says not available for shipping? I'll figure it out... May take some time. My voltage was dipn LOW today so I AM A back the gain down n baby it til I get another batt or 2...

It's a 12v deep cycle agm battery. Do you think it's worth trying for $50? It's basically brand new... And it's a sealed rechargeable battery. I'm no tech wiz but they seem like they'd b ok... So your saying a regular battery would be betr?

MINI Cooper S' come with the battery in the cargo area, vented just like the post above mine, worked fine till I replaced it with XS. got any pics? I can mount it Np, would like to actually see it done. Are you saying I should enclose it n vent it or can I just mount it? I'm getn a discover dt12-4000 for $50

Alright I got the hook up on a battery, going to install it this weekend. Orderd wire n all the hardware 2nite

I gota autocraft gold right now. Believe it's the 800cca one. Really wonder if another would help. Or an actual car audio battery would more. Jus sucks I'm on such a budget

I bought it brand new. Left the old one at my dad's n can't find it now. I may jus get a d925 or another of what I got... Only have $120-150 n no I really can't save more money... Already in deep than I should b lol

Is that battery betr than the equivalent of the Xs power battery I'd get for $230? I was looking at getting a d925 + hardware for $170... Idk if the d925 will help my voltage stay above 13 tho?

Got my bl today! Didn't take it outa the box but I did take a peek... Is the carbon fiber dustcap stock? Love it

expected delivery this week! FI's back on! It'llb less tthan a month from order to delivery

Nice. So how long did it actually take for fi to ship them? I'm hoping to have mine by the end of the month. Thought they were working on the long ass wait. Figured they had there new machine up n running by now...

Thanks, good lookn out both of yall

Site says the cutout is 14.125 what does that equal out to? I have a router jig, is it like 14 1/16? Or 14 1/8?
