How many batteries for 4000 watts

[da box king 10+ year member]

I have a yellow top up front and will be getting a ho alt. This is a daily driver and will be at 2 ohms. Would 2 stinger 1700's be enough...what about the dekas....

What kind of amp. More efficent amps would require less battiers then a really unefficent amp.

Nah, I would go with a couple of 2400s or pioneer pimp has some badass hawker odyssey batteries and you could do two of those. Buying batteries is just going to mask the problem if you don't have a HO alternator though.

He's using a VR4000D from what he told me.

well you bought an expensive amp, dont cheap out on the batts to power it.

The Sp1700's are comparable to an HC2000, I would think that you'd be fine with two of them and the yellow top + h.o. alt. especially with that efficient of an amp running @ 2 ohms.. now if you're going to run a front stage amp as well, I would probably go for 3 of the Sp1700's.

Pioneer, how much for one of your hawkers?

The system will not be ran untill I get the ho alt. And yes I am running vr 4000d 2ohm, so it should be pretty efficient. So 3 1700, 2 2400, or could I really just be good with just one of those big guys. What about the dekas. Any ideas on what size alt I may need, its' going in ford escape and large alts are hard to find. Thanks a bunch guys

Nothing less than 200 amps if its a true 4000w at all times IMO and Id run 2 2400s...thats just me though

I did forget about the 2 ppi pc4400 for my interiors too, so there is another 800 rms....better go with 3, unless someone can give me a deal on 2 2400's?

Agreed.

It is a true 4000 rms @ 12.8 volts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I would run Powermaster D3100's if funds allowed, but that's just me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would like to stay about $400 if I have to but willing to do $500 for batteries...anyone got any deals

With 400$, I would do 4 spv70's in bumpin buicks thread, should be around 400 shipped.
