I have a 2003 Yukon with a full sound system. Currently I have a pioneer head unit, a Rockville 5 channel amp, 6.5 Kenwood 3-ways in the doors and a Sundown SA-12 in a custom box. Its safe to say I really messed up by not investing in a good amp because the system really falls flat because of the amp. I get a ton of distortion if my volume is too high with my sub, yet the amp isn't even rated to put out as much wattage as my sub can handle. Ive seen videos of people running SA's with 1000 watts rms just fine, but my amp is rated to put out a measly 700 (I don't run bass boost or any EQ). All that being said I am very skeptical about what my amp is actually putting out, being that it was only $120. I want to upgrade to audiopipe amps, a 4 channel and a class D mono. The mono amp that I want to run puts out 2000 watts rms at 1 ohm, and the 4 channel 100x4 at 4 ohm. The only electrical upgrade I have is a 145 amp Delphi alternator. I was planning on getting a 2600 amp XS battery and running all 1/0 OFC power wire. Does this seem right to run roughly 2400 watts rms or do I need to do more than that.
