probably not.. i say atleast... atleast another batt in the back..

EDIT: IF you want to full tilt all day.. Whats your front battery.. If its shit change it to a good one spv70 1700 hc 1800 or 2000 what ever of those you can fit

I ran 2 Sundown 1500ds @1ohm off a stock 105A alternator a Kinetik 1400 under the hood and a 2400 in the rear. Full tilt playing all day Id drop down to like 11.6-7 not bad IMO

in my exploder with a stock alt and sufficient wire it would have no problem at all

no one can answer for sure, and if they try they dont know what they are talking about

very possible. I heard everyone say I needed all kind of shit, I have ZERO electrical upgrades and run steady at higher voltages than most. 14.25v

I ran a 2k watt fosgate power 1000 25 to life (250a) off a shitty interstate battery, no big 3, and a stock 130a alt

You get 14.25 off a stock alt and a shitty battery and you putting a 2kw load on it too?

Should be fine but don't expect to go full tilt for long periods of time. I have a 130A alt, YT and 2400 and it holds up quite well but then again I don't drive around often with it blasting.

you are all idiots, thats my point.

everyone thinks they know what they are talking about but most of them dont

best way is to try it and make changes as necessary

its not like its your shitty ****ing honda with a 70amp alt. keep that in mind when you try to act like you know what you're talking about

My truck drops from 14.25v if I fart the wrong way. 200a alt, big 3, yellowtop up front, two pm d3100's and I could drop to 13.2 on music with 3000w. Your 2kw must be 700% efficient. Your batts must float at 14.25v as well since your amp overruns your alt by about 120a.....lol

I used to run 3000wrms off a 120a alt, stock front battery, big three, all 2/0 wiring, and a stinger spv 35 in the back. Would drop to low 11s but that back battery was small. Another/different battery and I would have been set...
