Default Electrical Question

Well I'm wondering if I'll have enough electrical for my near future plans, which include:

1 sundown 1500D @ 1 ohm---1600rms
1 sundown sax100.2 or other small front stage amp 200rms
1/0 wiring, including big 3
150 amp anl fuse for the big guy
dual optima yellow tops----locally available
stock alt

will be running 2 12" type r's at 800 each in roughly 5-6cubes slotted around 32hz

front will still be my JL's unless they cant keep up

so I guess just under 2000rms

The dual optimas will help a lot. I think you should be fine with that. I swapped out my battery to a blue top in my jimmy with the saz1500, and the voltage drops are way less. I still need to upgrade the big 3 though.

900cca is more than enough... or should be, anyway, lol, it's not that big of an engine to turn over...

Heck, my old S10 would fire up on 200CCA, lol
