2 batteries (possibly), 250A alty minimum, (maybe dual) and def the big 3.

there were some tests/evaluations on MAYBE termpro or carsound.

A good starting battery, maybe a kenetik in the rear. runing 2/0 guage wire. 280 amp alt. Big 3.

I love overkill:naughty:

biggest alt I can find is 260, I was thinking to yellowtops, I have 2/0, ready to run big 3 done, just trying to confirm batts

Sounds like you got it all figured out Good luck.

2 yellowtops should be sufficient.

I'm also going to run an XA3000D. I've got an hc800 in the back, 0 gauge, big 3 0 gauge, yellow top under hood, and deciding on what to get for an alternator. I saw the best iraggi alt puts out 165 amps idle and 240 amps max, would that be able to get me around 13.8v, or no? I can spend about $400.00 on an alternator.

Anybody have suggestions? They would be greatly appreciated, thanks
