only 1K watts....... it shouldnt have a problem.

or are you just guessing?
if your SURE the stereo is to much then first upgrade ground wires and then see if you can fit a larger battery under the hood. otherwise get a larger alternator.

ive already got 4 gauge ground wires. and power. my wiring is legit. im sure big 3 + alternator + battery would fix that.... but i dont have the money so for now ill just bitch about it..... and i think i would rather get a kinetic battery.

An optima battery only costs $155 when I bought one.. And it'll help alot, trust me. The weak stock honda battery doesn't put out much power, and if you keep at it. Your gonna keep draining it and the altenator won't be able to keep up, and your just gonna lower the life of it.

Thats like saying, you wanna throw a turbo on your car without a proper tune. If you expect to run this kind of stuff, expect to upgrade other stuff. Thats how it works.

Any Kinetik will perform better under your conditions, than any optima.
