power options to run 2k watts


Recommended Posts

Planning on getting a DC 2k and want to know if I can power it by just upgrading and adding batteries without getting a h/o alt.

I will be geting an XS D5100R under the hood along with another XS in the trunk.

I know the 5100R says it can handle 2k watts as the primary batt but if I'm investing in a DC amp i want to give it plenty of power.

Rockn a '99 Civic Lx

Do you guys think just the D5100R as a primary along with a second XS in teh back will suffice? If so which size should I get in the back?

Also already have the big3 and will probably do 2 runs of +/- from front to back unless it is really overkill... i dont think it is :shrug:

Thanks in advance!!

first rule of car audio, there is no such thing as a overkill.

also i wouldn't recommend running the 2k on those 12 kicker comps :lol:

That should be good for electrical. The HO alternator would be a great addition in any case tho

that electrical should be fine in civic, I ran stock alt in 95 hatchback, with small kinetik up front and kinetik 2000 in the back with 2 mtx 81000d's and 2 crossfire 404 amps for about year and half with no problems
