Hi guys,

I just receive my Power Master Batteries 2x D3100 which will be installed each side in the trunk and 1x D5100 in the front not installed yet because i've cut the trunk floor which i will modified it so i can get more room for an ported box and to hold the 2x D3100, but I'm looking for an shop to do that job (steel job and welding)

And for wires I'm thinking of 4x runs of 1/0 gauge KnuKonceptz from front to the D3100's in the back, 2 runs for each D3100's and from there 1x 1/0 awg and 1x 4awg for 1x MD-21 and 1x MD3D at each sides.

And i've installed my Ohio Gen Alt. which is 230A at 14.2 Volt (dyno sheet) it came with a external voltage regulator, and i set the regulator at max to see what voltage I'm seeing and it put out 15.92Volts

now what do you guys think, should i let the voltage there at 15.92 volt, I was thinking at 15-15.5Volt or lower? will it still be ok for my Equipments? As for Audio equipment they are RE Audio and USAmps and it seems that the Amps max voltage is 16volt. they are 2x USAmps MD-3D, 2x USAmps MD21, 4x RE SX 12" d4 and 8x RE RE 6.5 Comp Set.

I've talked with Greg@ USAmps and he said that the MD-3D will put out about 2200wrms at 1ohm so I'm thinking to set my gains for a total of 4400Wrms for the subs

and like 400wrms for the components thus ~4800 Wrms of total power. will this be enough power for this setup? or should i put another Ohio Gen 230A? i can do it, but i have to take the AC out and set them at 15-15.5 Volts. or just one Alt is more than enough?

And here's a link you can see the cut out trunk floor. http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n47/Aruman/

Anyways thanks.

No, that's way too high.

Contact powermaster, they will tell u the best setting

very nice. where did you pick up that exteral regulator

is that 15 volts after the alt is hot..or is that a cold reading.

u got the right electrical system by the way, dont need to upgrade it any further.

The external regulator came with the Alt. itself it's an adjustable regulator and it is 15.92 volt Hot at +2000rpm engine.
