Need some electrical advice

[SkinnyFeets]

I'm in the process of upgrading my setup to a pair of Sundown X-15 V1s, and I'm planning to power them with a Taramps MD-5000 2 ohm. My planned electrical upgrades are a CES 270 alt, and a Northstar agm 80. The truck will be running when it's playing. Will it be enough, or should I go for the agm 220 instead?

To push that amp, I think you need more. Like 2 of those 220's and a 300 amp alternator. And that's without a highs amp. That amp needs a lot of juice. Here's some videos that helped me understand electrical needs

 

 

 

Probably want to look into getting a dashboard voltage meter as well. Just to stay safe. Hope that helps you out

The vids helped quite a bit, thanks for that. That amp supposedly only draws 230 amps on music, so I was hoping that even with another 100 amps of draw for mids and highs I could make it work with a single 220. Oh well, it isn't like overkill will hurt anything.
