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!!! -------------------- |

thanks for the comp, how come you can get the pics into your reply? I had so much probs with voltage and current as I run deep bass almost all the time on my way to work. This means I got the lights heaters and wipers on and i am in traffick so the revs dont go up much. I was just fed up with the power drops that I went for the option of the 2nd alt as a number of comp cars have this. I am using the Alpine MRD 1000 but I can now look at much bigger amps for my system. I will slot a bigger mono block just as soon as the cash flow will allow.
