I searched and im not really getting a good answer, or the answers are all trying to sell me something i may not need.

Car: 2017 Mazda 3 GT, this is important cause there is speculation that its a variable output alternator, but no one can seem to nail down an exact output number or type.

Question: Is there a general point at which you would add a secondary battery wattage wise, and do you go by advertised or "amp dyno" wattage? The Kicker ZR240 is rated at 60wx2, but can spit out over 500w on dynamic burst. So, which rating would you use given it only takes an 8ga wire?

Ill have two ZX460s and a ZR240 which all things being somewhat equal should be around 1500w max, but i dont plan on doing db drag or playing at full volume all the time.

That’s the little single 6.5 inch enclosure. The Savard did just as well as the RDS. These subs do well in ported or 6th orders but not as well...

It is a little overkill with the batteries, but underkill with the alternator. Ideally, you want an alternator that will keep up with your system...

Thanks. That makes sense. It sounds pretty good as is.
