[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3132302, member: 570956"] 80A is too big of a fuse for 8 gauge. I would go down to 60. Your 1000W sony amp is most likely not generating anywhere near that RMS, so you should be fine with a regular battery and stock amp. I'm running about 1600 Watts RMS in my system and also a 250W PSU for my CarPC with a stock alt and regular battery from autozone with 4 gauge wiring, no problems so far, but I'm really pushing my electrical.
