What would I all need to run 2 nightshade 15s off of an saz-4500? I have the list of:

-sax-125.5 for mids

-2 sets of IA I series 6.5"s

-270 amp mechman alt.

-2 group 31 xs power batts

-Lots of 1/0

-Appx. 8^3 box @33 hz or so.. Undecided yet.

Anything that I am missing?

What ohm level will you be running the amp at?

Im planning on .5 daily

I would do like four batterys to be safe. If it was me I wouldnt want to fry a saz-4500, there not cheap.

So would I be able to get away with 2 group 31 batterys in the back if i ran an saz-3500 instead of the saz-4500? So that would be 2 Nightshade 15s on an saz-3000 or saz-3500 (whichevers easier to find or easier to get a hold of) Would that be alright on the electrical?

Fuse and distro block for the second/third amp you would use on the mids and 6.5's

It would be just the huge sub amp and then the speaker amp for my mids. So you still think the distro block or couldnt i just branch it off of one of the batts?

Not sure, I've never had a second battery.

The way I have my setup now is just branching the amp off the 12v on my batt. in the back

Amps don't like it when voltage drops too low, they tend to **** the bed.

Once you start getting into huge power levels and you wire them below 1 ohm it takes a huge strain to power the amp and it causes electrical malfunctions and its just not good. .5 ohms is no joke on the electrical. I bet you have your rubi wired at 1 ohm +. And with no electrical upgrades your prolly only making around 1000 wrms or so because you dont have the power to back up what the amp wants... When you start playing around with that much power its a whole different ball park
