Can stock electrical handle this with only big 3 upgrade?

[nate1017]

Would be a MB Quart Onyx 2000.1 pushing 2 Sundown SA 12's @1ohm, think this would stress my electrical systems too much? Should i just stick with the 15-1600 like i had originally planned or would this be ok? Thanks for the inputs

What's the stock alternator size on your car? And you'll want to do the big 3 for sure and probably get a cheap AGM battery up front anyways on either choice

130 amp

130 amp

That's what I've got and I don't have a problem with 1200 with just a 4 gauge amp kit and no big 3. However, I'd like to run 0 gauge, do the big 3 and an extra battery to be safe. I get pretty good voltage drops so I try to keep it down a little. I think 2000 would be pushing it.

I'd say get a second battery and do the big three. Doesn't have to be a monster 160 amp hour battery or anything. Just something for some extra power to keep from straining your front battery. I run a Shuriken BT-20 as my second battery and it works great

$99 duracell battery from sams club, big three no 0 gauge needed 4 ga should be fine
