Looking to possibly upgrade to 2 15" zcons and was looking at the bc5500.

Just wondering what kind of electrical people were running to these. And how the felt about that amp.

I have a 320 amp DC alt with 2 yellow tops in the back. I think I should be fine but can add more yellow tops if needed.

im more then sure you would need more then 2 yellows.. if you have slandered size yellows they are 45 amp hours each i think its a good rule of thumb to have atleast 200 amp hours + worth of battery to run 5k

Mac n cheese has one on. Pm him

Mac has at least one 3100 in back (i think 2 now, not 100%) and gain turned low because his electrical underhood isn't superb yet. I'd agree with Big Jon, at least 4 yellows in back.

Yeah bigjon I figured as much and its no problem adding more

And will do Steve.

Yeah I was just looking at the d3100's. I may just pick up two of those and sell the yellow tops.

yea BOI!!!

Definitley more batts to run 5+k!

Also I should add that the gains will be set for 4500ish Watts for daily use and that little extra headroom for demos and such. If that makes a difference

Regardless... D3100s baby!!! What is under the hood?

Right now a blue top. Optimas were the only thing close enough because I live in bfe. Bit will probably replace with whichever x's in the front.

Do you know what model blue top? I can try and find the XS equivalent in size...

No idea off the top of my head but its pretty damn small. There's a lot more room there than that battery takes up

I'd go with a D3400 under the hood then... And 2 D3100s to start... Expensive.. But what are taxes for???

if your not stuck on XS, try RAM designs. He has a bunch of batteries. i have used him multiple times. good dude and very fair prices.

true that.. I forgot about his battery ventures.... Def hit him up in a PM... I think he has those big ass datasafe batteries.... fckin insane!

some of what i got from him was those 540mrs. 5 batteries @ 148ah each. bad mafukas.

i dont think he ships those but i think he still had some batcap 2000 copies.

Yeah I looked at that batcap thread. Those are 40ah correct? So I'd need 3 to equal thed3100?

Or am I off here.

Nah he has bigger ones... Just PM him, his crazy ass has like 30 fckin battery threads!!! lol

Ok then with the 320amp alt how much ah should I be looking for?

Instead of selling your current batteries and buying a bunch more shit, get the amp, install it, start adjusting the gain, and see how much voltage drop your experiencing, then go from there.

True^^^

Because that would be too easy and I'm trying to make this as hard as possible. Jk. I may just do that.

am I the only one on here with this amp?

I couldnt be more happier with my Crescendo 5500. All I have for electrical SO FAR is a stock alt (getting a new 320 DC XP) soon and a D3100. As of right now I get bad voltage drop. Plan on finishing the big three and another 3100 if I need it in the future. From the overall finish of the amp all the way to the remote I am absolutely satisfied. (The crescendo remote controller is actually a good size compared to the itty bitty small Sundown one). After having issues with Sundown amps I am glad I made the switch over to Crescendo even for my four channel.

so difference in the batteries but otherwise pretty much the same setup. I think i will just take stefan's advice and see where I'm and and then improve from there.
