would 600w rms be to much for a regular car battery?

i wanna get 2 subs that are 400w rms each. the amp that i wanna get is gonna push the subs 300w rms each. so this amp is gonna be pushin 600w rms most of the time. do u think i should get a high performance battery or get lower watt amp and subs?

What kinda car you drive. 600rms will be pulling 60-70 amps. And if your alt is only a 80amp alt. You'll have some problems. I had my alt upgraded, and I would do the same in your case.

yeah thats what veggie man said. do u think getting something that is pulling 400w rms for both subs be better? or would it just be better to get an upgraded alt so i could get the 600 rms anyway?

What kinda amp is it? and car? You can still have a little dim with 400watts. An upgraded alt is always a good thing to do.

You can also go to your local eletric shop that works on alts and they can beef it up for ya. Which would be a lot cheaper then buying a new one
