I will be fine! :-)
I've run setup similar to the this with class A/B amps
putting out very similar wattage with a lower output
alternator & 1.0F caps w/o little or no problems.

This new setup is featuring exclusively Class D or X
amp which are alot more efficient & draw less current
to power the subs.

2nd batteries are extremely nice to have... but really
no amp REQUIRES a 2nd battery :-)

Weird.... must to be setup incorrectly

I need an amp pushing around 1000wrms/sub.  I'm not
into competition, but this setup will be a 50/50
SPL/SQ setup.  The Elemental Designs SP15 will compete
with the Solobaric S15L7 for SPL output, but at same
time will have MUCH MUCH better Sound Quality.

I agree... running two of these monsters will require
alot of electrical upgrades (3 wires under hood will
most likely be upgrade to 1/0 awg).  These amps are
underrated as you're probably aware.  Each 81000D are
putting close to 1800 wrms each.  I will more than
likely go with ONE larger amp that does around
2400wrms x1 rather than 2 smaller amp that will result
in about 3500-3600 wrms.

As you can clearly see I need to run at the minimum of
2 awg wiring from battery to trunk.  I need to know if
I can cut into the black rubber grommet on drivers
side under hood or whether I should drill thru
firewall??!
