[QUOTE="Montana, post: 7919861, member: 643944"] Hey guys, I've never had a system with any real juice running to it, so I have yet to learn much on electrical upgrades. So, I found a DieHard Platinum PM 1 to hopefully help with some voltage drops. Only at on a 1700RMS. Prolly 1200-1400 after rise and what not. Dropping to 12.3 on peak; yikes! But that is on stock everything [big 3 obv] So, I had three of these 1700RMS amps, thinking about putting two in my ride, running em at 2ohm each @ 1200rms. I'll most likely need another batt I'd assume, maybe a alternator? That'll come later, after I see how my drop looks. Not a huge groundpounder Anyway, to my real question do I want to replace my stock battery and just run the single PM-1? Or do I want to drop the PM-1 in the trunk and run them both? I only skimmed a single site and it mentioned batteries do parallel/seris also; so anyone want to give me some tid-bits on what would be best to do in my situation? I'm not sure what kind of stock battery my car has, it's un my sparewheel well under my subbox, won't be able to see until I pull it out. Later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks one and all. [/QUOTE]
