So what would be required of my system to be able the full 3200watts for daily use. I plan to upgrade to a crescendo 3500 so I still would like to learn some more about how to make sure I'm good. So if im getting repetitive electrical engineering confuses me.

So to clarify; you're saying that my amp (sub at one ohm rated 3200) only truly pushes about 1500ishwatts because of the voltage restrictions and the amp efficiency correct? And of course I understand all of these numbers are relative and not exact.

What?

So I'm good to support 1600w rms but not 3200? And the xs battery I get would replace my stock, not be a second.

Yes. The highest one I could've got for my car was 180 amps from iraggi but he couldn't get it to me until late May. And that was $600. I got the 160amp from Ohio gen for 350

I got the 160 amp one

I got one from Ohio generators, so I should be fine?

I'm running a hifonics Zeus 3200 in a soundqubed hdc3 15 at 1ohm. My stock alternator just broke on me. I have a 2006 Mazda 3 so the highest amp alt I could get was 160 amps. I intend to upgrade my battery to a deep cycle xs battery. How do I tell if I have enough power before I ruin anything...
