[QUOTE="fatalphenom, post: 8239895, member: 660071"] To start, I'd like to preface this with clearing up my decision for the amplifier. In the past I've had 1000w Hifonics Brutus that I've hit 148db on two 12" Pioneer Premiers, and a 1600w Brutus on 2 12" Eclipse subs and hit 150.1db. 5 years later without any type of system here is what I'm planning for my 2000 Olds Bravada: 3200w Hifonics Zeus 2, 12" subs (have been looking at Incriminator and Sundown but want 1000w-1500w rms each) 6.5" Soundstream components, front and rear on 360w 4-channel My concern stems from what I read about high power systems. Regardless of current brand choice I'd like to have ability to run a 3500w system so that when I upgrade I can just 'plug and play'. My plans so far include: big 3 wire upgrade HO alternator fused distro blocks where appropriate additional battery (if called for) I've read through many, many articles and forums about 2nd batteries and HO alternators. So far I've found that others with wattage close to 2000-3000w only do the big 3 and add a HO alternator, and skip the second battery. I suppose I just don't know what to follow, maybe I've read too much into this lol. [/QUOTE]
