Freddy, much of that depends on your current electrical system you have, how hard you are going to be playing the system and how much of the current demands you want to keep up with. I would highly suggest multiple batteries to store the current needs for that much power, not to mention a serious amount of large gage power and ground wire in addition to the big3.

Thnks Denim for replying.... I am def getting the electrical upgraded, and the big 3 is done already....just need to get the alt and re run the wires.... i jam about 2 hours time a day...not all at one time. I have a deepcycle batt under the hood now, from my last build but a stock 90 amp alt, and I do plan on getting a couple batteries for the the rear. just am not sure if 200 amp alt is acceptable or should I go higher?

Thank You again

Freddy

200 should be fine IMO but you may need to add a battery or two or more in the back IMO

I think multiple batteries are in your future.

they should be.. you need around 220 amp hours worth of cells to run 2 saz 3000d's

thats 2 powermaster 3100s + whatever up front = 250+ amp/h

You also need 60 aH give or take for your car.

After reading your response, the alternator should be good with a few large batteries to support.
