Doesnt look like a burp sub to me. Specs would be nice though. Time to google...

I'm gonna go against the grain and say 2 Tantric Sounds HD 15's (or equivalent) walled (since you plan on walling it with 4 12's).

If you are getting a H/O, I would go Mechman hands down. There are plenty of good AGM batts out there, you dont have to get XS power.

4 Hrs from Valdosta,Ga to Augusta,Ga **** near full tilt the entire way there only to turn it down when changing song or seeing cops. truck started just fine. 100% of ppl let their alt charge their batteries though. The OP did say he's not gonna play full tilt but every so often, so it wont...

True, but with the added 2 batteries in the rear it will be fine.

He doesnt have to get XS power batts though.... duracell agm batts were suggested to him.

That never happened to me when I had my D9's on my stock all. I played mine full tilt all the time. The only reason I could do that was b/c every weekend I recharged the batts. The batts are key here, not the alt. As long as the batts are recharged, the system is golden. The example has been set...

I dont understand why you think it will smoke up?

In your case with your goals, yes, a H/O isn't necessary (but if added, you will benefit from the added power). Like I said before, the only reason to add a H/O would be to cut the recharge time shorter. If you purchase an alt that can handle the entire load be itself, then you wouldn't need an...

I added more to my post. He's an awesome guy, spoke to him in person a few times, and he gave me pointers here and there. I spoke to him briefly on FB. Def a guy who knows his ****.

The point wasnt that it was stock or not, the point was that it was more current than the alternator could handle per NASTY08IMPALA statement. Nic Watts demo's with his car on and he has a stock alt 10 batts and 4 everest 5k's (at the time).... He would just stop to let the batteries recharge...

You're not gonna see a difference unless you plan to add more equipment. When you run a dedicated alt for the system, you'll notice your voltage will fluctuate (b/c the alt is only loaded down when the bass hits). Once you get to 2 or 3 extra alts dedicated to the system, you'll start to notice...

You probably didnt have a stout enough battery bank either. Once you upgraded the alt, the alt alone could handle the draw of the car/system. Adding batteries can do the same thing.....

Adding a H/O alt is great and all (b/c it doesnt hurt to add more power) but not necessary 100% of the time, especially in this scenario. There are plenty of guys out there with multiple batt setups running 1 alt and do just fine. 1 guy comes to mind thats a world record holder/IASCA champion...
