I had one and it worked just fine but make sure you have a proper charging, have the subs wired right for a 2 or 1ohm load as Earthquake amps have been known to light on fire from people not taking the proper care.

The battery would only be a temp solution as your alternator will need to keep both batteries charged... I ran the PHD-10000 Earthquake amp and I gained 2.xdb when I swapped it for my RD amp....so I think it's safe to assume that it wont quite do 3krms. I do not know of any other amps that could deliver that kind of power for yoru price beside Audio Que. check them out, lots of people have been saying good things about them. I would say save up a tad and look at RD, Sundown, Mmats, AQ, Kicker...etc http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps2200D.htm 2200rms for $389 and you get warranty

The old black ones weren't too bad. They were barely stable at 1 ohm. The new ones which are red are over rated pretty bad. I take it you have 2 D2 subs correct? What is your budget for amp? Kevin
