Alright guys, I need some help with a new amp I'm getting... I've heard after 1000 watts rms you should upgrade the alternator as well as the batter and wiring. If I got a 1500 watt mtx thunder class d amp and ran 1 or 0 gauge wiring instead of my 4 now, would there still be problems with the alt? I just do not want to get this amp and then run into a lot of electrical problems. Also, my hifonics is about 900 rms right now and I havn't had a problem, which is why im considering this... Thanks for any help or advice everybody

I was running a kx1200.1 kicker amp to 2 L7's and had a second kinetic battery. The amp was rated at 1374 watts, and i ran it all day long no problem. I only had 4 gauge wiring also.

So even with a second battery you still didnt have any problems... hmm well i think il be fine then because i was looking at an mtx or maybe something kicker which are both power hungry |
