from what you see in my sig, i am looking at modifying my system a little this is what i want

Amp 1: Cadence ZRS C9 - 100w x4

Fronts: CDT CL-62 - 180w rms

MidBass: CDT HD-M6+ 120w rms - 240w pk

Amp 2: MB Quart 300w x2

Subs: 2x 10" Funkin Audio 300w rms

based on my amps i set the gains to where they don't clip using an oscope with my vol set at 30 and i listen to my music never above 24, vol goes up to 40. my stock alt is 110a and i do have 0ga Big 3 done, will that be to powerful for my system, currently i am running at around 700w and i my voltage does not drop below 13.8 with all lights and high beams on and stereo.

You should be fine, but if you want a bit of leeway I have an XS Power D680 I'd be willing to sell.

13.8 is my current build, its pretty steady at like 14.1, so adding 300w should not be to bad huh?

as long as your not dipping down past 12.5, your still in the safe zone.

Factory battery up front ? Yeah high 13's is good. I would say you are good. If not factory battery you could upgrade just to know you would be fine, incase you wanted to add little more.

Look on your battery and see if it says a group size of the battery. My xspower app doesn't show what size battery. Or if you can measure it I can look up the battery size and group for you

Or could do a custom battery tray ? I did one in my old honda. Did 2 under the hood, but I had a lot of room under the hood.
