3000 Watts RMS...What do I need?

[707spl]

I'm going to be running an FI BTL off 3000 watts rms in a 1999 pontiac grand prix.

What size alternator would be best? and should i replace my stock battery? if so, any recommendations?

i was thinking of a kinetik 1400?

also, i don't plan to play music when car is off, only when it is running

thanks.

get the biggest alt and biggest battery or batteries!

DC power would get ya the best HO alt, and Knu Konceptz will give you a good price on the wires need for the big 3.

You could probably manage it with a 150 amp alternator and a big battery. That's the budget route at least.. It will still work but maybe not for long periods of time or at red lights lol

1/0 from front to back in + and -

Big 3 in 1/0

2 Big batteries or upgraded alt and 1 big battery

i wouldn't go with anything less t hen a dc 230 on 3k+wrms. He should be seeing 180 - 210 amps being pulled by the amp(s) alone, then factor in the rest of the vehicle.
