H.O. alternator, maybe even run dual alts. 2/0 gauge for power and ground, two batteries in the rear

A manufacturer would not lie to you would they? You just might want to find out the real power ratings of all that gear before you blow your savings on it there dude.

Yea man, you could probably find more reputable product for the same amount of money...Check the classifieds, theres a lot of great stuff floating around.

And I noticed your location...notice my sig? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I heard some good things about ma audio from people that own some of there stuff and there priced pretty good, i could get all that stuff for 1450 on ebay how do i find accurate ratings if those might be overrated. Anyone know if Ma overrates their stuff?

You are paying out the *** for garbage...

Do some more research and look into a battery company. MA Audio DOES over rate their amplifiers...

for 3800 watts, would 1/0 awg work? sorry for thread stealing.

Yes, it would work, but would create a lot of resistance. 2/0 is better.

For the whole wiring? Or just from my last battery (kinetik HC2400) to amp?

what kind of 2/0 wire are yall talkin about. because if it is welding cable that yall speak of you are better off with good car stereo wire. i have compared welding cable to my kicker 1/0 wire. and it doesnt really compare till you get to about 4/0. and even then its arguable which wire is bigger.
