thanks im gona do a good battery up front with the big 3 and run 0 ga power wire to a block and 4 ga to my amp. i just hope after i run this i dont see drops in the high 10 or low 11 at idle. cuz im seeing 12.2 at idle with my lights on with just 600 rms running. no big 3 and 4 ga power run to a block and 4 out. and i gota stock motorcraft 550 cranking amp batt

If your dropping that low already you need a bigger/new battery.Get something that's about 800-1000CA and that should supply you good power.

I would replace the battery before you get another amp though.

thanks guys im gona stick with the1660 d from hifonics its a nice amp under 350

make sure you read the gain setting sticky and use a dmm to set your gains. If you do this your chances of frying the amp are dramatically reduced. And fix that voltage drop for sure, low voltage will mess up amps that dont have a low voltage protection

im running only 600 rms right now at idle and with my lights on i see drop to 12.4 or so at times andback up to 14. so i know my charging system is working. the alt is 75 amps . with little *** wires ran to my batt and ground. im gona push 4 12s at 1000 more rms with just a bettery battery and big 3 and better power wire to my amp. i hope that works out lol

try measuring you voltage at the amplifier with a dmm and see what it reads.

you should be good then. I now understand you had a power acoustik plasma amp but I was only trying to save you from frying speakers and amps not trying to put you down. If I was doin that I would have hated on your pa horn! haha j/k whatever floats your boat

i wana run 1600 rms at one ohm to 4 12s that are dual voice coil and there 400 rms each. so thats 200 rms each coil. im not sure if i should do dual 2 ohm or 4 ohm. i wana go down to 1 not like 1.3 or .5 just 1

i say get the HO do the big 3 get a good underhood battery and maybe 1 good battery in the back. that should be very good for up to 2000 watts

Yeah that's how they did it back in the day.
