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 of research it seems and additional battery in the trunk by the amps will still be needed. The Alternator can not supply the current demand quickly enough, because alternators are slower to react on demands from the amplifiers.....so the extra amp hours of batteries are needed (quick release of energy for quick precise bass notes, like kick drums ect.). With longer continuous bass hits I see voltage in the 14's which is saying my alternator is supplying enough current.
Looks like I'll be adding a 5-6lb lithium battery in the trunk and I should have all my electrical demands covered.
Driving around with extra weight is not too noticeable. On the days I want to get out there and goof around on the street I'll pull the subs out, but other then that the whole package of speed and sound is really fun!
