[QUOTE="imp4pdabest, post: 7073496, member: 623196"] Yes, I would still consider myself a newbie to the car audio world. I'm going to be getting my system installed soon and would like to do it right the first time by making sure my electrical system is more than capable of handling the amount of power my system would require on a daily. If there's a tutorial or thread somewhere out there explaining this stuff already, I'm sorry for missing it. 2001 Ford Mustang GT, here's my system: JL Audio 1000/1v2 (over 1000w, 100A fuse) JL Audio 12W7v3 (over 1500w) Kicker zx850.4 (over 900w, 3 40A fuse) Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD 2 8" wide screen visor monitors 4 MB Quart components (almost 700w total) As of now all I have is the stock 110A alternator and a decent yellow Duralast 760A battery. I will be having "The Big 3" upgraded soon. I'd prefer to skip a capacitor and just have an extra battery installed in the trunk if necessary. Basically I need to know if I need an extra battery, and if so how many amps do I need out of my extra battery? Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
