10 000 Watt sub - Amp?

hey, I was a member here bout 2 years ago or so forgot my username n stuff
anywheres

so I have one 15 inch 10 000 watt peak sub M. A Audio, im setting up my first system in an Acura 97 integra

looking for an amp,
Its 5000 rms I went to an audio specialist the guy told me to get two 1000 watt amps

but now Im thinking maybe just one 3000 watt amp

How many extra batteries are you running and have you upgraded your electrical system?.

dont know, im still new to all this, i figured it was an old car it would be a good idea to do something about the battery, right now all I have is the sub, i picked up for a deal in a half a while back, still researching and stuff,
so I should get an extra battery?

for 2000 watts rms i dont think you would need an extra battery unless you were planning on running it with the car off.

search The Big 3 topic on here written up by Father Yuli and do that for sure. It will be your best bet.

Upgrade your battery under your hood. And I think that work alone would be good enough for your setup. But I could be wrong. Someone will correct me if I am.

Because I dont think 2000 watts is enough power to kill your battery.

Nah you don't need any more than the big 3 done. In my Cavi I had 2k on the subs and another 460 on the fronts and just a new battery underhood and it performed flawlessly for almost 2 years. You are definately going to want 0ga power wire at that level.
