Guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) i dont really want to make any electrical updates with my car cuz i am planning on geting new car in a couple of months but couldnt i get a cap and a good big battery in the back instead of running to my car battery? cap is a no-no. ill be the first one to tell you this. if your not willing to do any good electrical upgrades (besides big 3 and more deepcycle batteries), you can't expect to have a big system. anything over 1000rms (peak = jack shit/nothing) and youll need to make upgrades whether you will like it or not edit: by the way i dont know what you mean by "good big battery in the back instead of running to my car battery?" but anytime you have batteries in the trunk, you need to put 0 gauge connecting the front and back battery(s), for both + and -.

steven Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hey man besides your making a thread that shoudnt be here think of it this way. The apine 12's are rated at I think 500 to 750rms (Dont quote me on that). The BTL fully loaded is rated much higher I run 3500 watts to each daily with no problem. The btl is going to be louder, but a lot more expensive to run. So stick with the alpine unless you can spend a couple g's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
