If you do a bigger alt you will still need more batteries to store the output. I would add a battery then see how much it drops. It may be your battery is not holding a good charge from dropping to the 11's. I would charge your battery over night and then let it set for a few hours off charge...

You can if its around 1000 watts. If you need more runs put them on the battery unless you want the cool distro block. Still run fuse before amps always! Fuse from alt to battery NO. MLA

I would put the fuse closer to the battery that is going to the amp.( 10"-16")away no more than 18" is best. Just run batteries + to + and - to - . Use same size wire for + and -. You should upgrade the front alternator to battery wire too. Ground both batteries (same spot don't matter) as...

Following post makes more sence sorry MLA

Subs are dumb and only produce what they are givin. MLA

You don't need any fuses between batteries. My rule of thumb on fuses are 1000w 100amp. A 4000d use a 300amp fuse should be fine. If you start popping fuses check your voltage this is a main cause of popping. If you have good constant power you should be fine. I would bench charge the new...

Since your fuses are popping after a little play check your voltage. If that battery is that old it probably don't keep a high charge and when you bump it , it will drain fast and your alt has to keep up. Low voltage will pop fuses fast and easy even if its wirer-ed right. Try to tuck any...

x3. 1/0 gauge is what 99% of people with over 1000 watts will run so you will be fine. Be sure to upgrade from your alt to your batteries as well. If you have 1/0 to your amp I would use 1/0 to fill the batteries from the alt. Keep 1/0 in mind for your ground too. MLA

I say what you run to your amp run from your alt. Keep them the same size and you will be fine. More than 1000 watts on a 4g wire you may reach a current limit and will heat up the wire. Should not be a fire issue but may lose some power flow from A to B. MLA

Double voltage can be done. GM and fords can be done with a module very simple. Don't recommend it for a daily driver. A 16v battery is actually a 16.9v battery, and needs to charge @ 18.6/18.9v (roughly 2.6 to 2.8volts per cell 16v battery has 7 cells) to maintain a 16.9v system. Great for...

Since there is not much difference because they are the same motor and use the same number of spiders , same size coil , leads , terminals, and just a little bit bigger cone there will almost no power strain difference between the two as single sub comparison. Your question 2 - 12" over 1- 15"...

I would get one from the junk yard for now don't waste the money for the shipping on the ebay one. What size engine? It shows a cs130 alt (100amp factory) 4.3L / 5.0L MLA

Its called little things not done yet!!! I will get more up.

I tried to post some but they are not resizing. I will try later when I get more time.
