[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8333902, member: 658055"] Anytime. I think you'll be fine. If it's ~1000W RMS total, most stock electrical can handle that. I definitely wouldn't buy a new, improved battery. Only If you're getting a new battery anyway would I suggest spending a little more on something better suited for car audio. Make sure the amp grounds are bolted to unpainted chassis (that may involve grinding off paint). For 800W RMS you're looking at 4 gauge CCA minimum. Alternatively you could run much larger wire for future proofing, eliminating the need to repurchase and rerun wiring for larger amps down the road and allowing you to slap a distro block at the end to power both amps, but if your budget is tight might as well skip that. I'd highly recommend Knukoncepts if you don't already have wire. They're wiring kits are good, but he RCA's that come with it are pretty barebones and the remote wire is integrated into them. However, depending on your setup you can probably chain the remote and RCAs from the other amp. These are recommendations for anyone reading along, but if you sold your old setup you might already be set on wiring. If you're looking to spend money on the electrical, invest in the big 3 upgrade under the hood first. [/QUOTE]
