Get a taramps bass 15k. I like Banda, but the newer taramps are better and .5 stable. 

Lithiums/caps instead of batteries. Two HO alts and 6-8 banks of caps will get you little to no voltage drop. Ask me how I know. 1 80ah lithium will do about the same

I guess I've been out the game too long. Are the Lithium caps the same as capacitor's??

And are the Taramps good for subs??

Lithium batteries and caps are two different things.

JY Power makes good lithium batteries, and maxwell or xs power make good ultracapacitor banks. About $1-2k for the right amount of each.

The Taramps Bass series is badass for subs. They're one of the first of the taramps lines designed for it. You can get a 12k for around 1100 and a 15k for 1600. They do rated power all day and they're about half the size of a 8-10k korean surfboard amp.

Thanks man I think I'm gonna check out Taramps and Lithium batteries. Now if I could only find a box builder ?

Amen on the lithium and caps. I have a 370a alt, 80ah limitless and XS Cap bank. I can hold high 13s (start 14.2) on around 8k.

Shit I have 2 alts and 2 55 agm's with 1 bank of caps and I have to be clipping at idle to drop below 13v lol I clamp around 7k with 800a of current draw

When I put in another 2-3 banks of caps I doubt I'll have any drop

Are the lithium batteries and lithium caps the samething?
