[QUOTE="chetomatic, post: 7291990, member: 627587"] 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... [/QUOTE]
