    Alright, i just ordered a 12" Fi Btl. I'm putting it in a 2.75cuft box and am gonna be putting 3000W rms to it.

    What electrical should be done to handle this if any at all?

    Brands/models of what you think is greatly appreciated.

    What do you have right now??? What vehicle???

    you're gonna need a lotta 0 gauge wiring

    and prolly atleast a 250 amp alternator if you plan on beating it up while driving and prolly an extra battery or two

    It will be in a 2001 4runner. My current setup is nothing compared. its 2 jl w3v3 12" running off 800Watts.

    I've already been told to get two batteries and was thinking stinger. one person says to get an alt and others say not to. so im not positive on that yet

    if used daily...I would highly recommend a HO alt...if not than you'll be sucking juice from the batteries all day and will be hard to charge them back up

    some amps come with a chart or go to their website to get the info that tells you what power is needed for that amp
