[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 1384199, member: 556589"] What size power wire are you running from your battery to your amps? With that much power.. let me tell you what you should be doing. Minimum of one run of 1/0awg to the two 1200D's. Use a 200-350A fuse under the hood (ditch the circuit breaker). Split it with a distro in the back by the amps to two 4awg runs, each fused at 150A. For your smaller amp. You can either split off of the main 1/0awg run (not recommended) or run a seperate auxilary run from the battery to the back specifically for that amp. Fuse under the hood at 150A (for 4awg) or 80 (for 8awg). Do your big three as soon as possible and make sure you do it in all 1/0awg. Clean your grounds front and rear and ensure tight connections. After you do all of that, then start looking for a high output alternator if you still have problems. [/QUOTE]
