enemyofsilence Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) i would do both. but if you cant do both, then the extra batt would prob come before the alt IMO edit: make sure the big 3 is done also.

Boon Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Dude you have about 1000wrms. You'll be fine. Seriously so much of this forum has the craziest ideas about electrical upgrades, I ran a Stetsom 10kd off a stock 80A Hyundai alt and a few good batteries... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

itssteve Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) for 1000rms you shouldnt really need that big of an upgrade, the big three is a great place to start, then you could go with the alt because you are really limited on the amount of space for an extra batt.
