[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1904320, member: 550915"] Without hooking it up and giving it a try at the level you typically listen before you do any upgrades and see what happens with your voltages, it's hard to tell what you need. Do the "big 3" reagrdless. From there add another battery if you still have problems. From there an alt. For any of the above to make its full impact, the wiring to the amps needs to be as good as possible, both power and ground. 2/0 from the front to the rear is not overkill. From a distro you can go 1/0 to the Colossus and 4 ga to the oher amp. Do the same for the ground all the way back to the battery. If you run a rear battery, the battery terminals can act as your distro with and inline fuse on each wire coming from it. [/QUOTE]
