You cannot effectively drive 1000w (RMS) amps using standard 12V battery supply. I have tried every trick in the book and you cannot maintain 14V for more than 10 minutes with the volume cranked up. I have now added a second high output alternator hooked up to a small battery in the back and two 2 farad caps. This goes straight to my Alpine MRD100 mono block amp, what a sound, sets off car and shop alarms continualsy!!! -------------------- |

i understand where you are coming from. if i had the money i would run a large alt. but with that said i know many people that run large amps off just a battery and stock alt. that can sustain above 13V. there will be no noticable difference in spl with a 1 volt drop. example. 2 kicker 900.4 (AB lesss efficent than D class) on a stock alt of a honda B16a swaped integra and 1 large stinger battery. or in another integra kicker 2500.1 on 2 Diamond D9 12s. stock alt with yellow top under hood and small kinetik in the trunk. both cars can run loud bass songs for a long time and run above 13V.
