[Buck 5,000+ posts]

I'm runnin a boston gt-40 and an elemental nine.1 to start off with. I'm planning to get a 200 amp ho alt. But if I add another nine.1 in the future, will that alt be enough to power the new system?

And also, what battery should I put under the hood (not looking to spend alot)?

ya i agree, but the $$$ is the only thing. Idk how much money difference there is between a 200 amp and a 300 amp alt.

you should be good with ALT and big battery up front like a deka .

200 will be fine. Just make sure you also have a battery in the back.

If I get a 300 amp alt and a yellowtop will I still need battery in back?
