[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8881333, member: 683415"] Don't forget a Battery. Check out Glowe Voltage. You'll need a good power supply for that amount of power. My voltage would sag quite a bit with my 320 amp alt and a single AGM battery on a 2500 watt amp. 400 amps sounds like a lot but an amp putting out 8k watts at one ohm is gonna pull well iver that 400 amps, especially if you are running 1 ohm or lower. A lot of amps are horribly inefficient at sub 2 ohm loads. For instance my JP8 takes around 100 amps to make around 1100 - 1200 watts at 2 ohms but takes 160 amps to make 1300-1400 watts. Not worth the trade off. I'd look up amp dynos before you make your choice and pick the most efficient one. [/QUOTE]
