[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8615293, member: 611804"] A 5k amp is going to draw 525-600 amps of current. A HO alt is a start but extra batts and a good but of 1/0 wire will be needed. Why do you feel like you need 5k watts? Most people can easily reach a 150db with 2500-3k watts on tap. That's pretty **** loud for a daily. Competition well that's a different story. A proper box design won't need as much power to reach mechanical limits. But if you are competing a smaller box will help increase those mechanical limits so you can increase the power until thermal limits A slightly bigger box with proper port tuning mar be the cheapest solution to your problem [/QUOTE]
