[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8790148, member: 684299"] i have no experience with that amp but let’s say it’s a true 5k rms, you will 1000% need a new alternator cause the stock one won’t even be close to cutting it! An amp that does 5k rms with decent efficiency will pull around 450 amps plus by itself of current playing tones. With music it would pull around 350 ish amps all assuming you are playing it at high levels. You will need an upgraded alternator, upgraded battery in the factory location, and at least 1 extra battery added. The actual battery setup to go with will depend on how much run time you want them to have. Of course those of us with limited space can’t just be throwing 4 batteries in the back so we must come up with the best compromise. You will also want to run all 1/0ga ofc wire at the min. [/QUOTE]
