The citroen battery might start to struggle

Here we go again.
Go away and read the 6x9s thread. Then come back with a sensible question!
Am getting mad today with idiots and 6x9s

In my opinion the standard battery will have no problem running the 2 amps. Combined they will be giving out less than 750w rms and have combined fused ratings of 75A. Not a great deal and when playing music you'll probably never see the full 750w anyway.
People run alot more on a standard Saxo battery. Make sure you have got decent size wire and that should be adaquate.

For a start Grow up! Anyone can be a hard man behind a keyboard!
I read and answer most questions on here so I do know what i am on about.
A standard battery will run that fine!

im in a simular situation to i have a 400Watt amp running 6x9's and a 3000Watt amp running 2 12" subs will the battery cope, if not will a upgraded battery need a new alternator?

In regards to the above, what amps are these? The answer can usually be found by calculating the maximum current draw for the amps. If you have trouble finding these specs just post the make and model of the amps and I will see what I can do.

right, gettin the amp and sub fitted, on the amp it shows you the voltage its using, it should stay at 12V but it keeps dropping to 9V, is this bad? does it mean itl struggle to run a 400w amp alongside the 1000w?

no they will be fine the watts ratings given are atchaly on around 300w overall so i woulnt worry about the battery.
best off investing in some good ice and then u can worry about power sources.
