I have a 15.2 orion hcca and im gonna run a crunch gp3000d.....wired down to 1 ohm i saw test numbers on the amp and it says 3200 at 14 volts...heres my question.......185 amp alt gonna do the big 3 all with 0 guage.....then from car battery (red top) run 0 guage from batt. to 250 amp fuse then to relay isolator from isolator to secondary battery all zero gauge still.....then from secondary battery about 8" off run 0 guage to a 2 fused distributer block (fuses being 1- 250 amp and 2- being 80 amp) from the 250 amp run 0 guage to 3000watt amp.....and from 80 fuse run 4 gauge to 800 watt amp for mids and highs.....3000watt amp will have a cap in between distribution block to amp in 0 guage......i was wondering if this would be a good set up or is it overkill....im trying to get at least 14 volts to the main amp and i wanted a second batt. CAUSE IM NOT SURE IF JUST A BIGGER ALT AND A RED TOP OR MAYBE EVEN A BLUE TOP WOULD BE ENOUGH...ITS A EVERYDAY DRIVER AND DONT PLAY IT UNLESS THE CAR IS ON. ...keep in mind my car has alot of electrical digital ac and dash its a 2000 grand marquis.....please let me know if this is to much tthanx in advanced.

i say forget about the isolator relay and keep all the batteries the same.

just checking thanx...i was told that the isolator will keep the batteries from drawing power from each other when the car is off?

so keep all the batteries the same, and don't play the stereo with the car off.

I agree with D-Bass , I never use isolators. If you do play it with the car off charge the batts back up with 2 amp charger overnight. Not overkill I always overkill justr in case I decide to upgrade l8r to more power.
