[QUOTE="SourDeez, post: 7609135, member: 575597"] Well, the fuse alone for the kicker being 150 amps along with speaker amp.. I would go at a minimum of 200 amps. Not that your amp will actually pull 150 amps (blowing the fuse) but you still need to account for getting close to that then having enough to power the cars electronics safely. dual batteries will help alot and should be fine, although you will probly still get drops on low hits I use a stock alt from 1999 and a new $250 battery and I cruise at 14.4 and the lowest it will drop when hot/full tilt is maybe 13.3 [/QUOTE]
