Help first 10k system

[getloud]

Ok so I have 2 nsv3 12s going in a 2004 Tahoe(daily driver). I am kind of struggling on what I should do exactly with electrical. Right now I have in mind a 370a alt, two runs, power and ground, of 2/0 welding cable, and 2 Crescendo Logic HPL120.

Haven't picked an amp out just yet but the TaraAmp 20k seems reasonable.

I could be way off on this so any good advice to point me more in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Thanks.

I just found out they are sold out of the batteries i wanted. any recommendation?

Also some ppl are saying to just ground to chassis and not run full grounds from front to back. Anyone have the time to explain what I need to do?

Any big group 31 agm. If you have a sears or sams around you id get the die hard platinums they have a 4 year warranty that you can just walk into the store and exchange. When buying "audio" brand batteries youre just paying for the name

A taramps 20k is completely overkill for 2 nightshade 12s. I had one on my 2 5000rms 18"s

I'm not a huge fan of the 20k look into the newer 15k a much better daily amp. As far as the alt look into a decent dual 270 or 300a kit if you can afford it dual 370's. And batteries like posted above.

That's the problem deep cycle. What to look for If you want a battery that can discharge a lot fast is a low esr that's why i prefer smaller batteries in larger quantities smaller batteries have a naturally lower esr.

If you plan to run 10KW into a pair of 12's you had better find a good source for recone parts and learn to build your own woofers. You will be breaking things constantly.
