Electrical Help!!!
o 1 more thing use 2 fuse on each + run! 1 fuse within 12inch of each battery! to be safe! and since you are using fuses i assume you want to be safe and not burn down you car lol!

Electrical Help!!!
yes for the ring terminals! now for fusing,, i didn't quite understand (b/c i am slow) but never fuse a ground wire! when fusing between batteries FUSE to the WIRES limits! for example i have the KNU klossus wiring and it is RATED for 300amps, so the fuse i use in that one is 300amps! when going from a battery to an amp: a) if the amp has fusing on it don't worry about it aii) some ppl like to be double safe so fuse to the amp, IE if the amp has 100amps of fusing on it use a 100amp fuse on the line going from battery to amp b) if the amp has NO fusing ON board fuse to the recommendated fusing! IE my saz2000 it is recommended to fuse it with a 200amp fuse! remember from battery to battery fuse to the wires limits! no need to restrict valuable current! Make sense?

battery or alternator?
i say battery!! b/c if it was the alt your car wouldn't go from 9 then back up to 12! but more times then not i maybe a combination of both of them. also check your belt and did you pop open the hood and check the battery out yet for a swell or crack or something out of the ordinary

Electrical Help!!!
with a 300amp alt you should be good! I was supporting a 2krms setup with a 120amp (OME alt) with 2-batcap 2000 (50AH SUPER small batteries 6.5x7x6) http://www.batcap.net/Products/BatCapProductLine/BatCap2000ElectricCarBattery/tabid/89/Default.aspx and it had no issue plus right now i plan on running a 5krms on a 200amp h/o ALT. the ONLY reason why i upgraded my alt is b/c my OME one was 6years old and starting to give the ghost lol plus my next setup will need a little more beef lol! and you are welcome! glad i could help with some insight, a little more info i will be running 2-nsb90 2-saz2000(or 2500 we will see) 2-NS 15inch d2 subs 2- Positive runs from front to rear 1- h/o alt (200amp alt) big 3 in 1/0

Electrical Help!!!
so you wnat to blast your car all day long at a comp i assume with the car on or with a battery charger right? umm as for AH first lets look at the definition Ampere-hour(s): A measure of battery capacity. A 4Ah battery could, for instance, deliver 1A for 4 hours, 1/2A for 8 hours, etc. keep in mind ppl like to use around 150-300amp( 1500-3000rms~) setups so for extended periods of time having a boat load of batteries or a simple charging unit on the batteries is ideal! so with that being said the more AH the long you can use your batteries with the car off and no charger... this is only safe if you keeping an eye on your voltage meter! but if you have a alt (car on) or battery charger constantly charging up the front/read batteries ah is THAT important, although ppl i talk to tend to think otherwise! plus with the battery in the front and battery in the rear the AH adds up! also the require AH is roughly half the amout of require fusing for your amp! for example my SAZ2000 requires a 200amp fuse so i need at least 100AH to run that amp with the car off for any extended amount of time! but with the car on (charging it up) i will not need that much AH to support the amp! does this help some..if not i got a few information video's i can share about AH and batteries and what not!

Fosgate linr driver
good point! my o my you are a quick one!! but this also doesn't look very good for a line driver lol! so what you trying to tell him is if there are 6billion ppl on the Earth only about 60,000 people actualy need one of these inventions? lol! i like Less ppl then that need them lol! 6 billion people aren't into car audio though.

Electrical Help!!!
go XS for sure!! there are some rumor floating around about a kinetik battery, if you charge them over 14.4volts there life spans will deteriate, but others will say otherwise!

lol i think i need one now lol!!! (a RF line driver ) sales man by chances?

how valid is this statement
It is a true and false statement at the same time. A lot of people use secondary batteries with there systems without it affecting there alternators. It will come down to listening habits and how hard you discharge the batteries and so on, if you slam hard all day long then yes it is true and investing in a battery charger would be feasible to take some strain off your alternator. A second battery will be useful whether car is on or off if you need the power, power makes power (no way around that). power makes power!! i like that statement lol!!
-
how valid is this statement
to me that statement is false, provided your stock alt is 50amps + BUT it is also a true statement as it does make the alt work harder ALSO my alt went bad after 5-6years of charging 2-3batteries at a time (stock 125amp alt) so on the long run yes if your alt is stock AND a pile!

Fosgate linr driver
hey i had a buddy with one, past tense, and he regrets ever spending th 50-60$ on it.!. but if you really need one they go inbetween the inputs of the amp and the h/u you hook them up to a +12 sources you set the gain on them for say 5volts and then set the gain on your amp accordingly they only say to keep it as close as posible so you keep the integrity of the signal strengh, as the run gets longer there is more of a changes of interferance and noise and blah blah so to get the best quality signal keep it close... does it matter if you put it 10ft or 10inch from the h/u for my buddy's setup NO, he also DID NOT need it!

Lexan as a front face for my sub box?
umm i c i like the window idea i will play around with that idea... as for hiding the LEDs behind a 1inch lip so basically making a boarder now that is also a good idea! thanks guys you have given me something to consider over the very days! the reason why i went with the million lights is becase it comes with an adjuster so i can switch the color to whatever i wnat it to me! so i can use a solid color your have like a christmas tree lol!! thansk agian guys! i will keep you all in the loop with what i decide!

Digital volt meters
aww i c so you are one of those legendary guys who ppl talk about who dont' charge and arm and leg lol!!! WAS? not enough volume sales or jsut got board of sales lol and i didn't mean to bash you or stinger (although it may have sounded like that sorry) I worked for a Stinger dealer, but moved. It's good product, a problem arises when dealers charge MSRP, which really isn't needed When I was selling it we'd charge just barely above our cost, my boss wasn't in the business to make tons of money by ripping people off, we preferred to help people

Digital volt meters
Your ripping yourself off by buying car audio products and accessories from local car audio shops, the only good thing about purchasing from a local car audio shop is the convenience factor. true story the only think i have ever purchased from a car audio shop is some mini ANL fuse, remote wire, terminals, and my first ever sub! (kicker comp d2 12inch sub)

Digital volt meters
nice location why thankyou!! and another plus is at night i reflex in the lower part of my window sure the numbers are backwwards but i can still make them out lol!!! and they don't screw with my driving lol! my dvd player screws with my driving now lol!!

Digital volt meters
i am with you man they over charge on wire like mad cats lol so i went KNU lol but for 18$ that isnt' a bad deal plus look how small it is compared to the other ones i showed you and then compare it to the summit ones whihc are like a 4inch diamter (maybe 3 or less not 100% sure on that one though) i NEVER liked stinger anything the ONLY thing i ever purchased from them was the voltmeter due to its size and there blue matches the SAZ2000 blue turn on light! lol

Digital volt meters
well i ONLY use the TAPE/ gum box idea B/C mine is on my dash and at night time (only at night) it is pretty bright out in the dark! IMG_4660.jpg picture by CcCrazy - Photobucket notice how it covers up the OLD volt meter lol!

Digital volt meters
ya i dont' like the analog volt meters to much (the round ones with the needles) they are hard to read and they do wear out since there are moving parts in the long run get a digital one! jsut don't forget to adjust the digital one every now and then lol!!

running 1ohm daily
hey man i had a 120amp alt (stock) supporting my SAZ2000 with 2-batcap 2000's back in the day! and the volt held like none other! the only reason i NOW have a h/o is b/c my stock one was 6-7years old and showing wear and tear so i jsut siad screw it h/o here we go! (jsut like that) so don't bash you 90amp alt b/c my 120 did PEREFCT even being as OLD as it was the key of course is to GET a voltmeter they arne't expensive and are very easy to hook up! Digital volt meters - SSA Car Audio Forum i posted some links here take a look the sting also come in RED for the same price!
