MistahVee502 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I will be running Two 12" DC Sound Lab Level 3s with a Audique AQ1200D Amplifier running it with 1/0 gauge wiring of course. But...The question is...Will a second battery be essential? Is it something I will need even if i plan on only using the stereo while the car is running? 99% of the time i have my car on even now to play my stereo.

MistahVee502 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 For 1200 watts there's really no need for batt Ok, Because that will save me a little bit of money for some other things. Better to be safe than sorry ill probably do Big 3 at least if i even need that...but ill probably do it anyways Quote THE YOTA(96'Camry LE) Her Voice: Kenwood KDC-MP345U Receiver Two 12" HFi12D4 Subwoofers Rockford Fosgate 201s Amp Four Kenwood Excelon KFC-X693 6x9s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 For 1200rms I would just do a good AGM battery under the hood, and the Big3.

RAM_Designs Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Depends on your listening habits and how well your little Camry alt can keep voltage from dropping too low. Because it will drop, it's just a matter of how much.

Its a good car...I have yet to see any dimming at all with my current system...of course its a difference in power but it seems to handle pretty well.

I just mean that the alt is small. Jumping from a RF 201S to the AQ1200D is going to be a BIG difference in current draw. I believe the size of the alt for that year is eighty amps...
