How much power do i NEED


Recommended Posts

With 2 9ks your gonna have to support a min of 1500 amps of current draw, that means 4-5 370 amp Alts. Like 10 xs d3100s, 8 runs of 0ga to 3/0, fully fiberglassed Box that's braced enough that if you wreck that box isn't gonna break or become out of square... You will more than likely be bottomed out by the adds weight so suspension work will be a must if you plan to drive it, along with more tq because that tiny motor will more than likely barley run that many Alts, idk where your gonna put them all.. Then your still left with the mids and highs

Laying frame soon.. System has to wait

4 18s prolly won't have the sufficient air space in that vehicle, especially after port displacement.

Then you need to invest in coilovers or bags

ok first of all yellow tops ARE NOT going to cut it electrical wise. Look into multiple d3400s by xs power (this is your electrical storage). figure out what kind of amperage your going to need for ALL of your amps and get alts accordingly. Iraggi, Mech Man, & DC Power are all good companies to contact about this. Now as far as wiring goes your going to need multiple runs of 1/0AWG KnuKonceptz makes excellent wire. (perferably OFC {Oxygen Free Copper})

thats just a start of what you'll need

Oh and you will have to brace your windshield, and every single panel so it doesn't flex apart and tear...

Not trying to be a dick, but if you have to ask on this big of a build u probably shouldn't be doing much of it yourself..

20k on two level 5s. hoooooolllllllly shit.

ok well, theres a few problems besides the obvious ones..

20k watts is like 4 alternators, and 10 D3100s.. (i believe... i could be wrong..)

buttt, unless you have.. oh say like.. $10-15,000 laying around.. money is an issue.

first of all you've obviously NEVER have been in the service. second whats so far fetched about this?

firstly i never claimed to be in the service, i was simply stating that fifteen thousand dollars is a shit ton of money to just drop on equipment for someone who thinks that they can run 10 thousand watts to a level 5.

and whats so far fetched? if you have to ask.....

Yes I realize 18k to TWO Lvl 5s isnt going to happen but he can run one 9k and be just fine. Then again he could add more subs to huh like in say i dont know a wall....
