[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8899281, member: 690458"] Sure, I get that in a daily driver people will only use a small amount of what they have. But what if they go to a gathering? There is a reason many people want this much power. Take my son, for example. He has 2000 watts at his disposal. However, when driving around, he might be using a 5th of that. But, he also likes to go hangout. Our city has parking lots where kids like to go and just hang out. When doing this, he'll be cranking the snot out of his system for more than a few seconds. He'll have it cranked up for as long as 15-20 minutes. My point is, if you want your system to be cranked up for more than a few seconds, then you'll need more than an extra power storage supply and wiring. I'm also a big believer in "If you have it, the day will come when you will need to prove it. So don't embarrass yourself, when that time comes, and have your system fall flat because corners were cut." However, if a few second burst is all someone ever plans on doing, then extra batteries and fatter wires is all that is needed. [/QUOTE]
