[QUOTE="webshot, post: 1033341, member: 562292"] I have a basic electronics backround but still need some help... I've been recruited by somebody to install a system in a car. Here's the hardware: It's all PPI stuff 2 DCX 102 10" subs 2 DCX 1000.1 amps for the subs 4 DCX 650S component speakers with passive crossovers 2 DCX 600.4 amps for the above component speakers 2 DEQ 230 EQ's (I don't know why but they wanted them) questions: Stock alternator ain't gonna work, is it? Should I add another battery? at 4ohms this system is 2400 watts which by my calculations would require a total of 300 amps? This car is only a year or two old. The subs show a RMS of 1000 Watts at "Dual 2 Ohm". The amps for these subs say they can do 600x1 at 2 Ohms or 1000x1 at 1 Ohm! What should I use? Everything else I've got figured out. Thanks for the help guys! [/QUOTE]
