So I am looking at getting an FI BTL 18" (2000 watts rms) fully loaded dual 1ohm and a power acoustik bamf5000 rated at 3.2kw at 1 ohm. I know I am going to have to upgrade the alternator, but how many amps should it be without requiring multiple batteries? I also know i will need to upgrade the big 3 and the battery(Im looking at an optima yellowtop d34). This system won't be played while the car is off so i dont beleive i need more than one battery. Also, i have about 13cu ft of trunk space so i want to mount the sub in a box close to that size, tuned to 32-34hz.i would like to hit somewhere close to 140 or 150db. any recommendations, tips, or ideas concerning this setup? I'm fairly new to car audio installs and i want to make sure i do it right. thanks in advance.

Audioque AQ3500D.1
It will move the BTL without a problem.

alright, i changed my mind. i dont want to put TOOO much money into this car. im planning on buying a new next year. so i think ima just buy two fi btl 12's. Will a 200 amp alternator, 1 optima yellowtop and the audioque aq3500d.1 with big three upgraded be enough to power the system without any problems?
