osamio Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Ok, I have a 1700 watt amp, (yes, CEA compliant, 1700RMS) running off a stock alt right now, at about half or 2/3 power. Head lights dim a bit etc.. But i just got new subs, so i'm going to be able to crank it now... Just wondering, with full 0AWG big three, and a new, non-deep cycle, oem type battery, Am i going to see major issues? By major i mean like, 11 volts and below... NOT headlights dimming, and not low voltage. I'm not doing an SPL build, i'm not worried about dipping below 14 volts or anything. But, my main thing is, will this system be USABLE, because right now, i can't afford a deep cycle batt, or 2 like i've been recommended... I'm moving soon, need first/last rent etc... Trying to see if this system will work, not at its peak potential.. but will it work? for now? this is kind of an open ended question but i just need some opinions. **EDIT Just to be clear, it's 1700 watts on my low end, on top of my HU and mids/highs, along with some low-current LED light bars...

zayres29 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 just dont beat the hell out of it if you turn it up and see low voltage like 11.xx or lower just dont turn it up that loud till you can afford to upgrade Quote Btw that was the first person.

Personally I would go with the battery that way when you get your second sub you will have the power to back it up.
