    I'm buying an iraggi 200AMP alternator along with a kinetik KHC1400, also changing the big 3. Will these be enough to power 2 Hifonics 2608D amplifiers for 2 12" Pioneer premiers W3001D4 and a 4 channel hifonics 440W for my insides? All the wattage sums up to about 5 stacks, but no amp usually pushes peak power. Just need some expert opinion, is the alternator and the battery enough or will I need more?

    the Pioneer premier subs your using is 1000 watts RMS right? so 2000 total for the subs.. why are you buying 2 hifonics 2608D amps? you can run 1 of those amps at 1ohm which will give you 2600watts to the subs.

    but even so, is the alternator and battery enough to power 2600 watts? Ill save the 2nd one just in case I buy a fi btl in the near future.

    In my opinion you may not have enough with a 200amp alternator. but if you're adding another battery then you should have enough especially with the big 3 upgrade.

    hope somebody else can chime in here.

    No...for a real 5200 watts you would need multiple batteries and atleast 300-350 amps of alternator...I'd get dual 250 amp alts.

    200 amp alternator and a Kinetic 1400 would be enough for roughly 2000-3000 watts for a short period before the battery drains.

    i think for 2600 watts he'll probably need a 260amp alternator.

    the 200 amp alt will help, but you will need more than the one 1400.

    maybe 2 or 3. if your going to beat the hell out of it a lot then deff more batts and a bigger alt.

    my bud with his neon had 5 extra batts on the stock alt and was running 2 incriminator 20.1's. it works fine for 30 min of demoing. after that it doesnt post the same numbers it did before a full charge.

    his batts are just normal batts too nothing fancy. in the trunk btw.

    I would get a better alt, but I can't seem to find any. The highest I can go is 200AMP, and I don't really want to buy 2 for my car because the cost for customization to add another might get very expensive. I've looked at the powermaster alternators but they're used for competition and not street driven vehicles. I have another question, will I get the same result if I hook up 2 2600W amp to each sub rather than having 1 for both?
