[QUOTE="CodyDaGoat, post: 8682705, member: 671563"] At 2 ohms, you are looking at about 5000 watts RMS (Assuming that is what the amp actually pushes out) I just finished my 5k RMS build. I have a 285 hairpin alt from US Alternators, and 3 XS Power AGM D3100s in the trunk. Before I started the build I asked the same question and was told what I have will BARELY cut it. I haven't dropped below 14 volts running this setup, but there is some drop when the subs do hit. And the longer they are on, the lower my voltage gets. I'd suggest doing something similar or go lithium. I have 2 runs of sky high 0 gauge, and the big 3 done to mine as well. I've read of people having problems on 6k with a 240 amp alt and like 380ah of AGM batteries. It's gonna take a few good AGM batteries, 2 runs of 0 gauge, and depending on your voltage, a bigger alt. Hook up a voltmeter and watch it when you're done [/QUOTE]
