[QUOTE="Deon1818, post: 8775904, member: 661289"] Okay. So, you can. You probably won't see maximum potential out of the amp. Big 3's make sure you're not missing amperage but they don't increase the amount an alt can give. Battery power alone can provide 12 volts for bursts, but your alt will constantly be charging the batts, so it is "harder" on the alt but with an extra battery to buffer the load I wouldn't expect it to fail too rapidly. Your amp will really only see 12 volts when it's pushing hard. So try to find out the 12 v rating for the amp you're looking at. It's not ideal especially now you're looking up to 3000 watts.
