Question About my friends Cars Electrical

[AgEnT 10+ year member]

Hey i have a question about my friend who is planning on getting a good system with STOCK electrical. He has a 2004 nissan sentra and is planning on getting 2 TYPE Rs and wants to run it with a 1000 RMS amplifier.. He is also going to have ~200 RMS going to his Type R speakers.. I am wondering if he is going to have problems with his stock electrical system. I think he will but he keeps thinking otherwise.

Recap

-Friend with 2 type rs/1000 rms amp/200 rms speaker amp

-Stock electrical 2004 sentra

Problems? Thanks!

shouldnt be too bad. Get him to do the big 3 mod and maybe upgrade the battery.

make sure he runs at least 4 gauge quality wire, and does the big three and maybe a small kinetic or bat cap.

Well my cars lights dim like mad with 500 rms so im just wondering what his car will do with that much.. Should his alternator be fine?

Use good wire

Do big three

If its still bad, look at just throwing a 2nd battery in the trunk

It all depends on the specific car, my grand am, I'm running about 1300-1400rms to the subs, and 100rms to the fronts, and have a bunch of other accesories running fine with stock alt and battery...
