[QUOTE="Wingman0121, post: 7227753, member: 620554"] It takes power to make power, do you know how many amps it will need to make 2000 watts? Unless you're talking about those cheap pos "2000 watt MAX POWA" amp that really only does about 350 then sure, but a real 2000 watt RMS amplifier will cry and die if you run it with a stock electrical system - it won't even make 2000 watts before it runs into distortion or go into protect and generally shorten the life of the amp. You want to run 2000 watts properly and not get laughed at? Get two identical gel-cell batteries and put one under the hood and one in the trunk. Use 1/0 power/ground wires and a high-output alternator if you can, otherwise the two batteries should hold the voltage up for at least a couple of songs at full blast. 600 euros will only cover the batteries, wires and either a new headunit or one 2000 watt amp. It isn't cheap once you want to run over 1000 watts. [/QUOTE]
