Im gonna run 2 d1 Dss Ethos on one of these @ 1ohm. How many batteries am I looking at needing for it? Im replacing my alt with a 240a. I currently only have a 55ah agm under my hood. Buddy of mine told me to run 4-5 group 31s for it and a 240a alt. Whats the minumum amount of batteries to make it happy?

Nobody can really answer that question truthfully. Is it for burps, demos, daily driving etc.

2-3 per.

obviously this is super broad and is application dependant. But ideally you want 200-400ah reserve for each 8k.

Why do you want to use such a big amplifier for those 2 subs ? A 4000 w amp should be enough, and easier on the electrical.

3 runs is overkill. I only have 2 pos and 3 negs for my 3 8ks.

Because someone probably told him those subs will take it. Who or why they would tell him that for daily driving, i dont know.

so at the end of the day you arent running 8k to those Ethos, so why even get an 8k amp. Makes no sense for the OP to drop the extra cash just to say i have an 8k amp. Comps maybe but for daily driving i dont see it.

But if you want more power down the road you have it...like I went form two 18s to 3 18s at 1.33ohms and now I have 4 so if he's planing on going with more sub's why not get the 8k but every body has there own opinions I'm just another newbi anyways...what ever you decided to do make sure you do a build log so we can follow your updates
