DO i have enough power.

[mega1268 10+ year member]

I am planning on getting a x1200.1 and a x200.4 from xenon. The x200.4 wont be pushed that hard at all. and teh x1200.1 im gonna set for about 1000 watts. my question is i know i should do the Big 3 upgrade. i have a Optima red top and i upgraded to 130 amp alt. Will this be enough to power both. Cause before i had a kx1200.1 to a 13w7 and it sounded like garbage threw the transition notes and it seemed like i think it was because of massive voltage drop.s Will i be ok like this. No SPL comps just a loud daily driver.

****, amps now a days have adjustable power outputs? I'm crious as to what you mean by setting the power output to 1000w

i have the amp already. and thats not the point. Do yout hink those amps will draw more then 130 amps. or w/e a normal car uses to operate with just the headlights and normal driving funtions. minus heat cause i know that sux up alot and its almost nice out here.

There is no way to decide that without actual in-vehicle testing... Install the shit and see if it dims, go from there.

Oh, so now the general opinion has changed from what is was a year ago when I left? I'm not fighting the facts of what goes on inside electricity, I'm just curious. I know before I left, anytime someone said "I'll jus tturn my gain down", everyone laughed at them...

Power is dynamic. An amp does not put out full power 24/7 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

the 200.4 is a current wh0re. fuse rating is 120amps.. I run two of them (well when they work), have done big 3, 200 amp alt, and a stinger power2 battery...and still get voltage drops to 13.5-13.0 when playing rap full tilt. Only a few songs will cause drops..but i can do it if i try.. with out clipping (to my knowledge).

I bet you will be fine if you only run the 200.4 @ 4ohm for mids/tweets.
