depends as much on the amplifiers you choose as it does on your listening habits.

If you have a half decent battery you will be fine.

More a question of amperage draw than wattage... I wrote an Alternator Faq that can be found in the FAQs threads that will help ya out ;)

And as for the big 3... That you should do anyway just to help your system :)

I'm lookin to upgrade my subs soon. I'm at 300 watts, and im lookin to go to about 800-1000 watts. At what wattage to I have to upgrade my alt. and big 3? I would imagine there is some sort of equation depending on your batt and alt. I do not want to upgrade my alt. and if the big 3 isn't that hard, i wouldn't mind upgrading it, but only if i have to.
