Hey , im planning on installing a new audio system iin my car, I;m going to install a Pioneer Premier PRS-D2000SPL amplifier which is 4000 watts peak and 2000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I 'm going to install 2 Pioneer Premier TS-W3002D4 subwoofers which are 1000 watts RMS EACH and 3500 watts peak EACH. 4ohm DVC.

My question is will i need to upgrade anything like getting a new battery? I saw this battery http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8531_Kinetik+HC+800+-KHC800%2C+HC800%2C+KHC+800-.html

and was wondering if it was good for the system...I have a stock alternator im not sure how many amps it charges,,, will I need to upgrade my alternator?

Should I do the "Big 3" upgrade? What does that do?

I just want to install this system without killing the battery.

Thanks for help!

 

You will probably need some help under the hood. That's quite the additional load to what the car's electrical system is used to......

For now I would just do the big 3 upgrades....that will allow the alt and battery you already have to do the best they can. If you have dimming issues after that you can look at upgrading them as well, if you do you will need to do the Big 3 anyways......

HTH

 

thanks for your help

so i'll do the big 3 uprade and get a better battery

i saw an 800 amp battery, the two amps draw 255 amps from the battery,,, so if i do the big 3 upgrade, will that help keep the battery alive and charging when the cars on? I'm trying to avoid upgrading the alternator, because i heard 255 amp alts are only for big trucks and stuuff.

 

so where is the BIG system im a little confused

 

lol watever man,,, AVERAGE system then:P

i just need help to know if it will kill my stock battery and if i need to change the alternator and stuff.

If i change just the battery to a better one will that be okay? p.s the amplifier for the bass is drawing 240 amps and the amplifier for the interior is drawing 15 amps....thats why i'm concerned.

EDIT: give me your opinion on the 4000watt amp plz and subs:P need to know if they're good together
