you will need 4 alts... and around 1100 amp hour in bats...

Nah he just needs a capacitor. My buddy has one on a dc audio 10k. On 10 boss phantom 12s.

You would be better off buying a stock alternator and upgrade the quality of your amplifier. A quality high output alternator is going to cost you 500+ dollars. Don't buy one off eBay unless you don't mind if your car catches on fire.

I'm going to take a guess here and assume you will eventually want to upgrade to a real 3500+ watt amp in the future.

I'd that's the plan go with a 200-250 out bigger.

For the post about caps

We do have members on here running caps just fine. Once of which I think had a stock alt and something like 5k + going to his subs.

singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

It took me about 6 months to get up the money for my alternator. If you want a good one, I'd get a quote from Mechman, Singer Alternator, or DC Power Alternators and see what they can get you. I would still suggest just getting a stock alternator to get your daily driver up and going for the time being. It took me about 6 weeks to get mine after ordering it and sometimes it can take longer depending on the demand.

Actually, just a 1 FARAD cap seemed to do pretty well in this test:

yeah right! a cap on a dc 10k was sarcastic! this is a rockford 2500,i ran one of these amps, and i would have never used one of those caps. i got an alternator to go with some extra batteries.
