HELP! IMPALA 2008 LT

[lil_rob_913]

as of right now i have a stock alternator and battery. i also have 8k hid going also. as of right now my audio system consists of jvc kwav61bt headunit, stock speakers and 4 gauge wiring that hooks up to a 750.1 kicker amp that is pushing 2 12 inch cvx's. the thing is i am upgrading my car speakers to kickers so what i was plan on doing is adding a second amp which is a 600x4 channel sony amp to power them. so my plan was running 4 gauge wiring to a distribution block and from there have it split into 2 8 gauge wires for my 750.1 kicker mono block amp and the other to my 600x4 channel sony amp. will i be fine with this set up. or IS IT A MUST TO UPGRADE ANYTHING SUCH AS ALTERNATOR OR GO 0 GAUGE WIRE?! HELP PLEASE!!

it would work but there are better ways to do i, like getting a battery for the back and using that as a distro block. or you can run 1/0 gauge so you can get a distro with two 4 gauge outs so your amps will have better current

by the way my alternator is 125 amps

If its a sony I bet itll only do 75 rms per channel so 1000w rms total. I doubt you need a new alternator.. I would do the big 3 upgrade juat because itll perform better.. as far as wires my opinion is that you should use the biggest wire for power that will fit the amp. But at 750w I doubt you need to waste money on anything larger than 4 gauge. If you have a regular wet cell battery itll eventually die on you probably sooner than later. When it does just get a good agm battery. Optima could work but I would suggest spend a few extra dollars and get an xs power or kinetik or even a stinger. Maybe if you go bigger on the wattage youll start to need to upgrade the alternator and wire ect. And one day im sure you will

Yea it runs 60 per channel at 4 ohm and 70 watts per channel at 2 ohm

Another thing was I was told another suggestions and that was to add the alpine power pack which is 180 watts 45 watts per channel

But the question about that is will it be able to handle a pair of kicker cs series component speakers and a pair of kicker 6x9 cs694 coaxial speakers? If I was to do this way I won't have to add the don't amp

I have a full system in 08 Impala Ls with stock alternator and it does fine. I am powering roughly 600 watts total between sub and components.. No issues thus far

I don't think I would run 8ga to that sub amp keep it 4ga

Dry cell in back, look into Deka batts if you wanna save a few bucks vs XS/Kinetik.. Big 3 upgrade in 1/0ga and minimum of a quality 4ga to the sub amp. I say quality power wiring(1/0 for big 3, minimum 4ga for amps) because a lot of the "cheap" power wire out there is very heavily jacketed and contains very little actual wiring underneath. Sky High has sum awesome wiring for the price as does Knukonceptz when you're looking around.
