2400w rms setup questions

[TRIGGER ARSENAL 10+ year member]

2 hifonics brutus 1200w rms amps, 2 12" power accoustic mofo's 1200w rms subs, i plan on wiring one 1200w amp to each sub individualy @ 1 ohm. is this a good set up ? i have a few questions.

1. what size alternator will i need ?

2. is powering two amps better than powering one amp ?

3. when the rca from the crossover goes into one amp, and i link the first amp to the second amp from the first amps line output, will the second amp have the exact signal from the crossover ? for example if i adjust the frequency on the crossover, will both subs have the same output ? does daisy chaining the amp effect anything ?

4. what else should i keep in mind / look out for, for this set up ?

1) If this is a daily driven vehicle, 200A to 250A. If it is a show car, the biggest you can find.

2) Better how? It should not be any different.

3) Yes same signal. Even easier is a y splitter cable.

4) You can keep your stock starting battery, but you will need a good G31 AGM battery in the back near the amps. Popular choices are the HC2400 by Kinetik, the 9A31 by Deka, and the SP2150 from Stinger. Find the best deal and grab any of these. You should also isolate the rear battery from the front. Search the forums for isolator threads. There are plenty already that have discussed in detail the topic.

Do you know what vehicle he is driving now and the stock alt in that car? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Your in over your head bro. Pay someone to install it for you and look at how they do it. Chances are we will see fire in your build log.
