when you put it that way, yes, no one can compare. and there are some people that are louder. i will say that. but for a daily driver with only 4 18's and still the second row seats? i think it's pretty dang good if ya ask me.

hes gonna be daily listening.. and probably listening to it the whole time hes driving.. he needs as many amps as possible to keep them batterys up and charged.

i garuntee that his setup wont be be as efficient as steves either.. also i dont think that steve bumps his shit everywhere he drives..

I run 9k on one 300A alternator and six Kinetik batteries. I don't even see a voltage drop at idle. If you're gonna help the kid at least know what you're talking about.

so you think 1 alt should do? because i was gonna get the 300A alt. but i was going to use 4 or 5 D3100s or D2700s

I'll say if you're really gonna do this and stick with 5k watts give or take, then five or six big batteries and a 300A externally regulated alternator should be fine for power. You could even get away with less batteries, but I'd go with five at least. Stick with D3100s. You can't go wrong with them and you won't be disappointed if you gotta go bigger later.

As far as power, go ahead and go all out, but with the system, do what you're thinking and tone it down a bit until you learn the ropes.

wow. i'm kinda believing you because you do make a point. if i drive around town then it'll take up more power and whatnot so needing more alternators is a must. i'll probably put 3 in just to be safe.

And driving around means he'd be constantly above idle. Check out galacticmonkey's system. Or Neil Barber's system. Both of them had 20,000+W with one alternator. Even assman had one alternator. It's unneccessary if it's done right.

I could let my car play at full tilt for hours. Have you even owned a big system? I'm guessing not.

Driving around eases the stress on the alternators because you'll be revving your engine constantly. It doesn't use more power. But do what you want. You'll probably just change your mind anyways.
