Will I be able to run a ap3000

My car electric is stock so far. I will of course be upgrading big three but as far as extra batts, alt, batt up front my car is stock. Would 2 kinetik 2000s in the back be enough to keep it from dipping low. Ive also read they will just add more strain to the alt.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Batteries increase the current available at 12.5v, but they also increase the load on the alt.

Using multiple batteries in place of an alt upgrade just buys you time. If you have 2 or 3 good batteries and your alt is just short of adequate it may take several months to finally get the batts depleted enough to be a problem. That assuming the alt can hold up to that kind of abuse.

One the other hand, one good alt and one cheap battery means everything runs right indefinitely and you don't have 100 extra pounds of batteries in your car.

There is a wide range in the strength of stock electrical systems, but for 3000w (you're talking about the audiopipe right?) I'd like to know what stock system can hold up, especially if you listen loud very often.

I would at least explore your HO alt options.
