Ok well I want to run 1 us amp usa-2000x, onto 1 re xxx, and then the us amp usa-4300x, onto the cdt components... I am already planning on upgrading my alt to Loud Brown Kicker Colt alts.. I was thinking about getting another re xxx 12 and us amps usa-2000x.. I have a red top optima right now... But with the new alt (200-300amps easily) and a yellow top do me good? Thanks.

Im planning on re-wireing allllll of my wires in my truck, and a couple computers, and modules, boost control and such, but was planning up grading all the power. The 0/1g was already a plan. Just need to see if I will have enough power behind me.. This is a daily driver too..

Thanks.

it is recommended that u have 2 batteries for that amp, especially if u are going to turn it up loud (which ofcurse u will do b/c it's a sick *** amp and sub combo). u dont want any unwanted voltage drop in there.

also i think u said u gonna have a computer or something in the s15, so more battery juice is only going to help.
not sure if u have/will have air bags in your car but im sure those require some battery powre to pump themselves up and to power the air compressor or what not.
over all a $200 investment (or so) for another optima will go a long way for you. i'd get it there now and avoid head aches in the future.
