aq 2200 power hog?

130amp alt and a single deka keep my 2200 above 12.5 durning burps wired at .5 ohm...... So is an alt a good idea yea but is it a must hell no..
Maybe you have hella rise... He may not... You cant judge like that. So all I hear is, if it works for me it will work for you. Thats how people end up screwed and amp less. With a toasted electrical system. Short cuts cost you more in the end, that goes for everything in life, not just car audio.

 
Every car is different.. You can not compare your Saturn to what he has... Mine wouldnt run 1500 on the stock 100 amp cause of all the stuff going on. EVERY CAR IS DIFFERENT!!!
Blahh Blahh... OP toss a min of 100ah in the trunk and you will be fine. Do it so I can again show that I know what I am talking about. Buy urself a solid batt and forget this u gotta have a 200+amp alt and 2 batts to run 2k crap being tossed around. Exp has taught me this not just hear say from joe blow that is having issues with his setup. God I must leave cause the replys are getting just flat out stupid now.

Not my first rodeo sir.. With rise I am well below a 1ohm load. Short cuts??? Buying batts is a short cut??? Bahhhhhhhh plz go get ur 180amp alt and run no extra batts and then u come back to me and tell me how ur amp smelled..

 
You can get a 180 amp for under 400 shipped to your door.. That WILL solve your problem, or you could listen to the cheap people with a bunch of mix and matched batteries and it "might" work. Or it "might" drain the batteries to dead.
Oh now I am cheap son plz... U need to read up and get back to me with some real life exp rather then ur BS rambles.

Whats going to keep these charged so they dont just keep draining down? OP is going to charge them for around 5 hours every night? Give me a break man.
