[QUOTE="goodguy8705, post: 5635112, member: 588206"] I'm pretty much at wits end and need some serious advice. I keep getting a hundred different recommendations from people from different places and it's getting frustrating. Here is the situation. Stock Alt: 105 Amps Amp 1: AudioQue 1200D - 1200w RMS @ 1 Ohm This is rated at 14.4v so I'm not sure what kind of power it puts out at 12.8v. Amp 2: Visonik V2208 75w x2 RMS @ 4 Ohm I assume this is rated at 14.4v as well. I want to avoid dimming lights and straining of the electrical system as much as possible but don't know what exactly I should do. I came to find out that the only HO alt I can get is a $399 rhino series but that is WAY out of my budget. I've been told I'm going to need the alt, and I've been told to just get a couple batteries and that the alt is completely unnecessary. I'm afraid that if I don't get the alt, even with two decent batteries, on deep notes, there will be a very noticable light dimming and drop in volume. This will bother me like crazy. What the **** should I do?!? I'm trying to spend the absolute bare minimum without putting absolute shit in my car. Please, be as descriptive and complete as possible, right down to wire gauges and models of batteries. I've spent hours and hours every single day researching the best solution and haven't come to any conclusions and it's DRIVING ME NUTS. Save me. [/QUOTE]
