if its 1500rms amp yes you need new battery buy you dont have to have a new alt. even though one wouldnt hurt.

i'm running about 2500 rms or maybe a little more in my integra and it's only got like a 90 amp alt and big three with extra batt in back and it does alright for the most part. i have to be careful though or my voltage does drop below 12 volts but never lower then 11.5. and my amp has never cut out on me once. but it's still not good on it:crap:

my Z1a on 4 1508's did just fine on a stock 95amp alt

no big 3

had a couple runs of 1/0

and a couple large batts

id say i was just a tad over 1500:wow: with the Z1a
