[QUOTE="ugmoe2000, post: 898028, member: 560210"] Well got the CCA on the stock battery 625.... lower than I thought I'm also upgrading the amp I have powering my components from a Rockford Fosgate Punch 501x to a new Power Acoustik Plasma Series that puts out 100watts rms X 4 @4 ohms. So over all I will be drawing the 1200-1500 watts for the RE amp, and another 400-500 watts for the Power Acoustik amp bringing the RMS total to approx. 2000... taking into account the max outputs on each the total max is approx 3000 watts. I'm beginning to lean toward waiting on the HO alt. and a cap, I won't have the money for a new alt. initially anyway... I'll upgrade the Big 3 first from the stock (what looks to be about) 6 gauge to 1/0 gauge and see how that flies. I've already got that Rockford Fosgate amp installed /w a .5 farad cap from monster and the lights dim a bit as it is.... that amp puts out 65 watts rms X4 @4 ohm. Hence my concern already. I've done a ton of reading up on the Big 3 recently to see if there's much merit in the upgrade and I must say a lot of it makes sense... for those of you who may not know what they are like I didn't I'm posting the most informative link for me: [URL="http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=007801"]http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=007801[/URL] I'm also interested in that battery, drop me a pm /w more info. Also if anybody is interested in a used Rockford Fosgate Punch 501x drop me a pm. [/QUOTE]
