[QUOTE="bs199sg, post: 8391690, member: 662511"] Hey, I am looking to upgrade my 2007 ford focus SE 2.0l's electrical for my system. I have a 5000 watt sub amp and a 600 watt door amp. I know I'm running the stock alt, so that's 120 amp max. Aka that's around 1600 watts max. There are 2 4 gauge wires running to the amps. I'm looking at a 370 amp alt [URL="https://www.dcpowerinc.com/fit/Ford~Focus~2007~2.3L-I4-Duratec/8407-370-xp.html"][/url] . [/URL] I also have to find 2 batteries; one for my trunk and a new main one. I was looking at xs power, but I'm stuck there. I know the one in the trunk needs to be a dry cell b/c of the fumes. For the batteries, I was looking into installing a 200 amp relay right next to the main battery.
