[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8527806, member: 650438"] if you are still going by peak watts, you are still a big noob buddy, sorry to burst your bubble. Peak watts is completely and utterly useless marketing tactics. You only look at RMS wattage which is real world watts. Before doing any of this, you would need a high output alternator about 270 amps or higher(NO EBAY ALTS ALLOWED. Only reputable alt brands like singer, mechman, excessive amperage, DC power, ohio generator) and a good AGM battery under the hood along with the big 3 upgrade. That would work however, Adding an additional AGM battery in the back by the amps along with all of that would be optimal though. You'd want a better quality amp than that soundstream. For amps, Look at anything from [URL="http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/amps/shop-by-brand.html"]Amps - SHOP BY BRAND - Page 1 - SSA STORE[/URL] and [URL="https://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/products/category/amplifiers"]https://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/products/category/amplifiers[/URL] and [URL="https://xplicitaudio.com/product-category/car-audio-video/amps/monoblock/"]https://xplicitaudio.com/product-category/car-audio-video/amps/monoblock/[/URL] [B]Any of the 3.5k RMS amps in there would be good and miles better than that soundstream cr@p.[/B] As in way louder, way more efficient, WAY more durable and reliable.
