Could I get away with running a AQ 2200.1 on a Factory 145amp Chevy Alt (on my 03 Silverado and came from a Tahoe) and like just a regular brand new Super Start? Biggest one they had tho loll Also got a cap in the back butttttt, yeah. 1/0 OFC Sky High all the way. Is it do able? Big 3 Three done as well. Or do I need some more power somewhere

It should do fine with a second group31 Batt. What ohm load are you going to wire to?

Just my 2 cents, but personally if i was planning to run that board at 1 ohm i'd get an alt first. Mechman sell a 240a g-series alt for that truck for around $100 less than that amp costs. Of the amplifiers running that board the AQ probably has the lowest grade capacitors, something to consider if you aren't going to be able to feed it the kind of power it wants. I seem to recall it being against forum rules to list alternative amplifier options, so just do your homework and make sure the AQ one is the one you want.

The system in my TB started like yours, but with half the power. I had a 145a AD244 and a matching everstart maxx battery. At half the power you'd be trying to pull i had serious power supply chain issue. IMO, trying to run that amp on your stock electrical will most likely kill your battery and alternator.

Don't trust a shop but you personally just smoked two decks, makes sense.

I would be running it at 1 ohm. I don't believe that was the rules tho, I think you might be thinking of no versus threads, nothing wrong is with a comparison right lol, or weighing the proos and cons of the amp and other amp.
