This week's blog is a battery tutorial for car audio amplifier upgrades. Your batteries are crucial when installing aftermarket audio equipment. When there is too much demand on your alternator, it transfers to your battery, which serves as the reserve power source. It kicks in until the demand decreases, and then it shifts back to your alternator. Your battery's capacity is typically rated in AH or Amp Hours. AH is the unit of measurement for battery capacity, determined by multiplying a current (in amperes) by the discharge time (in hours).
This rating also helps determine the approximate wattage your battery can handle. To calculate your watt-hour rating, simply multiply the amp-hour rating by the voltage. However, you also need to consider your amplifier's efficiency. During continuous heavy usage, the voltage may drop, reducing your amp's potential output, and the alternator can recharge the system. Be cautious because as voltage drops, so does your amplifier's efficiency, which generates heat and can damage components. Your potential output is limited by what you can supply.
Lastly, when selecting a battery, don't make price your primary concern. Instead, consider opting for a deep-cycle battery. Although they are more expensive, they are well worth the extra cost.
So you've invested in a killer car audio system, only to find your headlights dimming during bass drops? Or maybe your battery just isn't keeping up with the demand. That's where your alternator comes in, and it might be time...

Used this sub for my PC audio setup. I built a custom mini 4th order for it and it sounds great!
Used this amp for the sub stage in my Can Am SXS, I needed the compact size to fit in a specific location and it works great and sounds great. I really like that an amp this small in size still comes with a bass knob and set screw style terminals.
Jacket is a little stiff on this wire, it’s not the softer silicone jacket like on a lot of car audio speaker wire. Nonetheless it’s a good quality wire and solders well
Perfect fit for my resilient sounds gold v1. once i carpet the box it looked even better
First off I want to say thank you to Big Jeff and his whole team. I love the podcasts every week. Anyways, these amps are fantastic. I have 2 of them and they are absolute beasts. I can run them for an hour straight on 2 sundown zv6 18s and they barely get warm to the touch. The sound quality is better than any amp I've owned. I'm not even getting their full power either because I am running headway lithium which doesn't hold 14.4v. They literally almost get as loud as my 2 Brazilian 8k amps. If you got the electrical to run these, you will love them. Hands down the best amps I've ever owned. And they came very well packaged as always from Big Jeff Audio. I ordered during a holiday season and my shipping time was still very fast here in Asheville Nc. Anyways, my point is, these amps are amazing and I think they are discontinued so get them while Big Jeff still has some left. Thanks Big Jeff and his Team. Very happy with all of my purchases from you guys.
