So how much strain will these 13" SPAL fans put on my battery/electrical system?

I think these batteries should be a good start.



Just kidding Sixpipes

OK Doug, if I put those batteries where I wanted, they wouldn't do me any good. Looks like it might be time for a little experiment. Got a voltage meter I can borrow?

 

Be nice....

I may need my voltmeter to help extract the batteries if my guess is correct ...
LOL

Seriously does anyone know the capacity of the stock alternator ? Sixpipes has done a really sharp job of wiring up electric cooling fans for both the radiator and the intercooler. Just want to be sure that the 12v system will handle the fans and the Stereo pumping out Mettalica at deafening levels at the track.

Sixpipes - The voltmeter is still in the truck. Give me a call if you are in Dallas/Irving today

P.S. I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!

 

I just know the altenator isn't enough for my truck's stereo. Need a cap...

i called svt and asked them.. maybe they don't know what they are talking about?

the pawn - get one.. i have a 15 farad cap in my truck.

 

They can't pull that much. my twin 12" are both wired to one 30amp fuse and relay. never had a problem (other truck)

 

My PSP 18" Fan draws 10 amps.
My 3-Spahl 7"i/c fans draw 5.5 amps ea.
My 10 " Perma-Cool Trans cooler fan draws 7.5 amps
Total amp.draw= 34 amps.

Sixpipes,

I have a 6.5KW diesel generator that you can use to charge your battery --- take it to the track in the bed of your truck --- on second thought you can charge everyones battery at the same time.

Good think its a truck --- HUH!!!
