I have a 2002 escalade and i just bought 2 MA Audio HK15X2 15's and 1 MA Audio HK4000D amp to push them. For power ive completed the Big 3, 250 amp alternator, a yellow top under the hood, and 0 guage wiring. Someone was saying i might need an extra battery or two because that amp is power hungry. Do i need anymore batteries or should i have enough? Has anyone experimented with this set-up or sub or amp?

you will most likely need more batteries...that HK will eat up some major current
