trunk battery mounting ideas - Page 3

I'm looking at getting a Delco...
o.O

I figure I can solve my dimming by a HO Alt, Then after I get that I can drop in the 2nd battery I have, rerun some wiring... Stick in a Cap, Then amp the rest of my stuff =)
Since I can't even get my volume above 1/3 of the way before the amp shuts off :[
and my car looks like a laser light show before then ;p

Why is your amp shutting off ?

voltage drop or gain set too high i bet.....or poor ground? my amp hasnt ever shut off.....and i ran that **** down to like 11.2v (cap voltmeter rating) one day with the car running....

not good i know, first time i ever saw it that low

Are the speakers bridged? A lot of time bridging makes the amp work harder/heat up and goes into protect mode.

mine used to do that. when i would really push it my amp would not only shut off, but blow all 4 of my 25 amp fuses. it would do this because my alt couldnt give it enough power, and the amp was just starving. thus resulting in the fuses blowing. and when i say blowing, i mean the metal in the fuse would break with such force that it would break plastic on the fuse. i think the lowest i've seen my volt meter read is 10.5 volts.

so my new alt fixed that. only problem is i dont have sh*t for voltage at idle. voltage is mid 11s.

i take it your voltage goes up thought if you aren't on the sysyem at all right??

any tips on putting the main battery in the trunk? i would like to reduce some weight in the front and put it in the back for better handling. but im not really sure how much it will really help. which side of the car is heavier in the rear? driver or passenger? (i removed my muffler and put a straight pipe so this will affect it) where is the best place to run the wires out of the engine bay? anyone who has done this i would appreciate your input.
