Upgrades needed to run 2-2.5k daily

[thefourth]

I'll be starting my journey building this spring. So far I've got my plans pretty much set. I'm going to be running around 2k on my woofers and give or take a 600 watt 4 channel.

My first order of business is, upgrading to atleast a 200 amp alt. I've been shopping around between Mechman and Singer. What am I going to need as far as batteries to support the system? I want to make sure the electrical is going to hold up without issues.

I've been eyeballing a few XS batteries but I'm not sure which one is going to fit my needs. Will I be okay running a slightly larger AGM under the hood or am I better off with one upfront and a smaller suplimental battery in the rear? Are there any other brands of AGM you guys can reccomend that's close to XS price point?

Sorry for the long post

upgraded biggest xs batt up front and a d3100 in the back should be all you need plus your HO alt

According to the XS website the largest direct fit I can make would be the D2400.

Would it be a problem running a larger battery in the rear than the front?

About tree fiddy...

Any biggest Xs power battery up front, with a d3400 or d3100 and a HO alt will be plenty. D3100 would be better if you ever planned on upgrading or think you might. D3400 would be more of a wallet and space/weight friendly option but I wouldn't upgrade power with just a d3400 for your rear batteries.

nope

2-2.5k rms will pull around 350-400 amps including what the car itself needs. so if you get a 200 amp alt you would need around 150ah of storage IMO.

a 250 or bigger alt would be a better choice if you can. More supply means less storage needed.

2 runs of 0 gauge front to back and a solid frame ground should be fine. Big 3 with a good ground for the alt case and grounding the alt and Batt to the same place it a ground from the batt to alt car is a good idea.

all advise above is legit.

3.5k of rf power, (no way i was seeing that) with a 225 amp alt, yellow top up front and 3100 in the back.

If i dropped below 13.5 id shit.

Tell more about where your gonna wire down to, expectations, gear, vehicle, and such.

that, all matters..

The thing is, is that is the math.

That is OPTIMUM pull on a amplifier.

Me? Id expect half that for just bumpin.

I ran a RF 2500bdcp at 1ohm, with a 200 amp fuse. Never blew it..... Do you see what im saying?

What they are rated at, and can legit do, you almost NEVER see. Take the DYNO testing into account.

They are showing that YES they can do it. Under certain circumstances.

Listening to music that is nutty dynamic,.... you wont just sit at the optimum impedance, with optimum voltage, in a optimum everything.

Maybe im going to deep.... (ive never been told that )

I plan on wiring down to 1 ohm on a BC2k. Four channel is going to be a Rockford 600.4 All going into a 01 Honda Accord. I don't really have to many expectations at this point. Maybe meter it this spring just for the hell of it.
