Running 2 MA 802sx's...Do I have enough?

[markt3307 10+ year member]

Currently under the hood i have the big 3, a yellow top, and a 200 amp powermaster alt. I haven't ran the power wire yet... do i need more than one run of 1/0? Is it really worth it to do more? Also I can get some semi-truck batteries for cheap, I was thinking 2 of those per amp....Will all this be sufficient for my MA's? I want max output from these amps without going 16v....Any input is appreciated

just because a battery is physically big, doesnt mean it will support the amps..

The HK802 amps. Two of them. Get ALOT of batteries. ALOT. They are unregulated power amps and will draw ALOT.... The more batts you can get get them and the more runs of O wire you get run them.

I believe so.

OP go buy you 6 Everstart Maxx batteries and a couple runs of 1/0 and you should be OK.

Audioarsonal, I see you have 2 HK4000's what are you running for batteries and runs of 1/0?

They are actually telecom batteries. You might be thinking of those Hawker/ Odyssey batteries
