New member Username: Su_ramPost Number: 2 Registered: Jul-06 | I plan on wiring my kicker L7's to 1 ohm. My amp pushes 1500 RMS@1ohm. My cousin has a 96' Impala wired the same and he needed a 2nd battery because his car would shut off in under 5 sec's. My concern is I have a much older model Impala(77) what kind of battery should I search for? And is it possible I can use a marine battery to save a little $$? Also my amp has (4) 40A fuses. Thanks |
