[QUOTE="Guest, post: 357389"] I run a Retrosounds Model One stereo with 4 RCA outputs to two Alpine PDX amps in my Bug. One Alpine PDX 1.1000 mono amp (confirmed at 1240W output) and another Alpine PDX 4.150 for the mids and highs. My subs are two Alpine Type R 12s rated at 1800W peak each. Two 6x9 type R components in the rear and two 5 1/2 inch components and two type-X 180W tweeters. I have a 2.5 farad power cap which rarely kicks in as the leisure battery can handle the amps no problem. I can go to full volume on the subs and speakers with a peak of around 5000W with no issues. I had to upgrade the wiring to zero gauge as the amps were cutting out. The 95amp alternator can easily manage the main battery and leisure battery with this amount of drain.
