What size of alternator do you have right now ? Have you done the big 3 yet ? How many batteries do you have as we speak ?

I hope you realize the power a true 3k amp can produce at .5 ohm...(if you are talking about a true 3k amp) and how much voltage drop you would have. Is your amp even .5 ohm stable? If its not listed in its specs, I wouldn't try it right off the bat.

Its in a 95 accord. It has a 90 amp alternator. Right now I have a audio battery up front and a small kinetix in the back with big 3. Im running at half ohm and my voltage drop to 11. And running it with sky high 0 gauge wire

Ok the pai amps are .5 stable. If you have a good electrical and it sounds like you don't. Get more batts and a second and or bigger alt

I was thinking a 180 amp alternator. Will that work with a xs power 3400 battery?

Will a 180 amp alternator and a xs power 3400 work or should just get 200+ amps alternator?
