Whats the most power I can safely run?

[papito 10+ year member]

I have a 70 amp alt, a yellow top up front, and big 3 done.

Can I run a AQ2200 safely at 1 ohm? Using 1/0 of course.

You need a battery near your amp

Like will a Kinetic HC600 work?

What kind? Like a HC600, or should I go bigger to like a HC800? Maybe even another yellow top?

I prefer paralleling equal batteries - so they have equal charging characteristics. I would go with a second Yellow top if you have one already.

Front and rear Kinetik would be much better though.

You can also run a battery isolator like a Sure Power type. You can get them at most auto parts stores and camping stores for around $40. It keeps one battery from discharging the other while allowing your alternator to charge both batteries at the same time. In one car I ran a red top Optima up front and a yellow top out back near the amp.

matching batteries is best

2 non matching is still better than 1

I would get something bigger than a 6-800. Go for something with around 75-100 ah. Like a c&d tech you can find them pretty cheap on here if you search the classifieds. I wouldn't run 1 ohm until you get the electrical set up.

your alternator is weak. You must compensate that with more batteries, and bigger wire. You have done the bigger wire, now search for the equation to figure out exactly how much current you will be drawing, and how much current you can make.

2000 watts on a 70 amp alt is asking for problems.
