I have no idea how to set up what I want to do with my car. My set up is:
1 Standard Battery running:
1 Kenwood Stereo (50wx4)
2 Sony Xplod 6x9's (40w each)
1 Pioneer Amplifer (600wx1 at 2 ohms)
2 12" JL Subwoofers (600w total, 2 ohm total)
...and two 12" LED strips on the sub box. All of that runs fine on that battery.
What I also have is:
3 10" JL Subwoofers(1000w total, 12 ohms each sub, so i believe its 4 ohm total)
1 Alpine Amplifier (1000wx1 at 2 ohms) which I am planning on buying.
...and four 3" LED strips on the doors.
What I'm asking is:
1. Is the Alpine Amplifier the correct amp I should buy for these subs? I struggle with understanding the ohms thing but I feel like it's not gonna work.
2. Can I purchase just any battery to use as a secondary, and how do I go about setting up a second battery?
3. Once I figure out the second battery, how to I get the two amps/five subs to all play together?
Thank you in advance for the help!!
EDIT: I've also been told I may just need a stronger alternator rather than a second battery, or both. Not sure though...
