Need advice on a 600watt amp

[cooldudejz 10+ year member]

i am looking for a nice 600watt @ 1ohm amp. right now on ebay i am looking at either the PG xenon 600.1 or the kicker KX 600.1. both of these amps can be had for around 200 dollars, which is around my spending limit. i will go to 250$, but no more. i also have a question about my electrical system. i will be running a zapco C2K 2.0x 50x2@4 ohm and hopefully one 600w amp. will this be a big strain on my electrical system.

Not a huge strain by any means. What type of battery and alt do you have? Good choice on the KX amp. Built like a tank. I also hear that the latest Xenons are pretty beefy too, but I don't have personal experience with them.

i have an 80amp alt with some goodwrench battery with close to 600cca. i will probably do the big three. but the zapco probably wont ever be pulling more than 15amps and as of right now my car runs at 14.1 volts with both the headlights and ac on.

I wouldn't worry about it. I am running a 4 channel amp and a Kicker 600.1 right now and I have minimal light dimmage. Did I mention that my alt sucks donkey balls?!?!

You electrical should be sufficient. The big three would help as well.
