Its tuned to 55/60 hz, just for SPL it can do a 155db. I have a XS Power D3100 under the hood and three in the back but I don't know what kind they are. They look like the Odyssey 2150 or DieHard Platinum

Yes they are toolmakers dual 1/0 I had the alternator upgraded and rebuilt to charge at 15.3 volts with 120 amps.. No where near the amount of current these amps draw (roughly 1000 amps each) but the extra batteries help for a while and then they are low 10 volts after around a minute but that's all I need for competition Edited by akadj, Dec 16 2014, 06:32 PM.

dude 155db is sick... why not consider 2 inch silver plated copper bus bars for the current network ? we used that in the telecom manufacturing industry / AC-DC 48V power supplies |

I would have loved to, but during the build I was trying to go the cheapest route, all the 1/0 and 2/0 wire was free, I only paid 300$ for the woofers, I actually traded some kid from a small farm town in Alberta straight across 1998 Panasonic CD player (which I got from a friend for free when he sold his car to an auto wrecker) for the Geometro it self. Which is weird because the CD player in the metro was just as good as the one I gave him. |

+1 on the bus bar, if there is room. If you could shorten your runs and double them up that would help too. Can you twist the batteries 90 degrees and have room for a 4th one? Then make short jumpers to the + side and - side. |

yeah, in fact I do. if you ever go to the scrap bin at Alpha Technologies LTD at around 7pm at night you can hunt around there they always throw away bus bars. They are all pre-drilled and tapped too |
