A lot more goes into it than you think.

Why would you need 8000 watts, anyway? Competing?

You are going to need either dual alternators (I would go no less than 600A combined) or a solid ~400A alt with many batteries. Many does not mean two, or three; I mean a bank of 10+ batteries.

There is no reason to have that kind of power for a daily vehicle, if you are competing then all you would require is a huge battery supply since the vehicle would most likely be OFF depending on what you compete in..

Meade is running over 20,000rms and he only has two 300amp alternators with a bank of batteries in the back....

you dont need to have like 4 alternators you just need 1 and sometimes 2 high output alternator im pretty sure you wont be listening to your setup at full volume for like 20 minutes.. Its supposed to be short periods at high spl and you can play normal listening level for a long time

300 amp alt (dual would be sweet here) 4-5 2400's (you could go higher here if you wanted)+ alot of 0 ga wire. basically if it were me i would do the 300 amp alt as the "second" alt and have it for the amps/batt bank alone
