[QUOTE="retrojordans, post: 7251063, member: 630134"] If you are running under 2k watts rms @ 2ohms you can really just run a zero gauge big-3 install and a nice deep cycle battery under the hood for insurance. No extra batteries.. No high output alternator.. Just a big-3 for voltage issues, and a nice D31 Optima to replace your stock battery. Your stock alt is either a 110 amp or a 130 amp iirc meaning you have between 45 and 55 amps to run your system on the stock alt.. A clean 1,000 watt amp pulls around ~50 amps. Therefor you don't need an alternator. [/QUOTE]
