All finished up. I installed a 22ah battery, and battery isolator. Reason for the isolator is the resting voltage of the battery up front is roughly 12.5, and the lithium is 13.5 or so. To prevent the agm battery from leeching off the lithium the isolator disconnects the lithium from the circuit...
ad some time to play around with the system for a while. The J2Fab 270 alternator, and XS3400 battery have made a big difference. Most music plays pretty well with very little voltage drop. One thing I did notice is on strong, quick bass hits there is still pretty good voltage drop. Doing a bit...
I'm about 3-4 miles from the centerline just a little west of Cleveland, so I have a front row seat. It will be really cool for sure, but I'm glad it will be over so everyone can stop talking about it lol.
Hitting the home strech. Battery & alternator installed, finishing up some wiring on the MS3. I have gone through a lot of zip ties to keep everything clean. This is the last rats nest to clean up. Also I installed a maf delete plate. [emoji106]
I'll get the car out and run through some...
I have a single 0 gauge going back to the trunk that is running the amps, fuel pumps. Eventually I'll get a seperate 8 or 4 gauge back there to put the pumps on. For the grounds I have everything grounded seperate.
More parts today. J2Fab 270 amp alternator and a XS3400 battery. I had to modify the battery tray slightly and install a post to make the battery fit nice and snug.
Been busy with the car the last couple weeks. I started a car audio thread on what I'm doing, but that project has led to other things.
Today, I dug the MS3 out of the kick panel to wire in / activate a couple remaining features I had on the list. 1st was the fuel pumps. I currently had them...
Roughly 3500-4000 watts.
Also I'm thinking the MS3's power supply must not be regulated as I've never had a car stumble from a voltage drop during a bass hit.
Finally got to take the car out, went to a empty parking lot and played around with the system a bit. Definetly need more power. Using my volt meter during bass hits / test tones voltage drops into the 12 volt range pretty easy and the amp does go into protect. Also the ms3 does not like voltage...
After doing a bit of research, looks like need to upgrade my under hood battery to a agm. And throw a Lithium battery in the mix. I was not wanting to add a second battery but these lithium power cells are very small and easy to hide, and obly weigh 7 lbs or so. I can deal with That.
