[QUOTE="Fi-brations, post: 7507451, member: 636442"] Thank you all very much, its really nice to get such an informative answer. Im not exactly sure what i can tell you, but I listen to bass heavy music almost all the time and I listen to music whenever im in the car. I drive the 15-20min to school and back on weekdays, and i drive around a lot on weekends. In my current setup, listening to my bass all the way up is no problem for my ears, the only thing it starts to do and higher volumes is distort my speakers, i have no idea how loud my bass would be if i more than doubled the amount of watts going to each sub, so i doubt i would listen to it at the highest level of bass all the time. So is there anyway i can find out what amp alternator combined with what batteries would supply me with enough power to handle everything? what i was thinking was get two kinetik hc 1800s and use those just for my amps, then use or replace my starter battery which is in my trunk with an identical stock battery which is very large. I would do big 3 with 1/0 gauge and use that also for the power and ground of the amps. I would think that would all work, but if my alt is a 120A, would it charge them fast enough? Your giving me a lot of information and its helping to get the correct answer and a real answer, but its hard for me to apply it to my own situation, and ive heard so many things about caps being bad and good. It seems like a very controversial topic. Edit: and also if i do need an HO alternator, i still have not been able to find someone who makes them for bmw at that level of amps, and i have not heard back from excessive amperage [/QUOTE]
