2007TBSS Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I got everything in with some old amps I had and I think I need moar power. I have heard good things about the Hifonics amps so I am leaning towards them. If I were to run the 1700 x 1 at 1ohm and the 8 0 x 4, what kind of electrical upgrades would I need? If possible, I'd like to only run one battery since I don't really have room in the back for a second. Any thoughts on what kind of electrical stuff I would need to do to support those amps? Thoughts on those specific amps? Thanks!

EBW Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I would do a Big 3 for sure 150 amps should be plenty for that kind of power Edited December 17, 2011 by EBW Quote Kenwood KIV-BT900 Front Stage RF 400-4 Runs off dedicated 4 awg ofc RE 6.5 125.5.

TeamHT Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 For 1700 watts the largest you could fit under the hood would be great. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
