[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 68844, member: 540903"] there's no way to drive those monsters with a stock electrical system, even if you put 20 yellow top batteries in there. Think of it this way: Each sub will need a little more than 1000w RMS to perform at its peak, so you'll need about 6kw RMS (let's say, for the sake of argument 5 JBL 1200.1's as an example). Each 1200.1 draws 90 amps from the electrical system in two ohm configuration to push its max power. SOOO You're looking at 450 amps of current draw to drive those beasts to full potential....do you see where this is headed? If you have a nice deep wallet and can afford to fabricate a custom harness for 3 150 amp alternators (by the way, these are about $200 each), about 50ft of 1/0awg wire ($2/ft) and want to waste your time building, tuning and perfecting a box for subs you don't plan to keep, I say go for it!
