[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8731280, member: 614752"] You still haven't mentioned which one either, but I can't lithium as worth it at the 300$ price point. Now if you hadn't already upgraded under the hood and were going to take your 900-1200$ budget and DIY some LTO on the stock alternator could get you ready for 3-5K and would be a fair investment since it would probably last into your next vehicle. That said if you're in a decent pickup truck and space isn't an issue weight definitely shouldn't be an issue. I personally would use 2 AGMs + high output alt to run any legit 3K amp but you could probably get away with one less battery depending on your goals and listening habits. Not like going overboard on electrical will ever hurt anything. Yes, it takes power to make power. Just because China/Brazil cranks out power at 5-7 cents per watt doesn't mean it doesn't still cost a buck or two per ampere to properly feed them. [/QUOTE]
