[QUOTE="MikeyF, post: 6897023, member: 611696"] Not to be an ***, but if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing something that big. Let alone, if you can't even do the install. But, that's just how I feel. Misfit gave you TONS of good information, and some of the best was starting small and going bigger. But, if your going to do your own thing, and go that big, there are definitely some things you should know. The rule of thumb is 100amps worth of battery for every 1000w you are running. Grab around a 250a alternator (DC Power makes some great alts, but you can also check out mechman, ohio, etc), depending on the size of your car 50-100ft of 0g. Definitely get a trunk pack, and door pack of sound deadener. (Check out Second Skin, great stuff and nice on your pockets). I would sell those Kenwood and MB Quart comps, and check out some companies such as CDT, Focal, PPI PC356s, etc. Will sound much better, and louder. Good luck though... [/QUOTE]
