Here it is. I am running 2 -12'' subs, 4- 6x9''s, 2- 6.5''s off of two batteries. I dont have any battery probs now but i want to add two more 12'' subs meaning one more amp.... Is this going to strain batteries. Should i put and additional battery? HMMMM THX

I'm going to be running 4 - 10" subs, 4 - 6.5's and 4 - 6x9's in my boat and I had 4 batteries installed. I am running two amp, totalling 2,800 watts. I'll probably also going to be running a portable DVD player and possibly a small swamp cooler, so i went ahead with the 4 batteries. I think it would be best to have too much power, than not enough. Whatever you decide, I would suggest running a two position Perko switch with one battery set to position one and the your stereo batteries set in position two. You can also have a battery charger system put in to solve the problem of dead batteries. If your going to be using the system for hours without running the motor, you'll definately need more power......

Thanks for the help,good info ...My stereo guy is great with installs and equip but with boats i dont think he totally gets the concept of not having power sent back to the batteries to keep them charged...oh well :idea:
