here are some pics.
As you can tell bass is way more important than a seat.
I haven't gotton to wraping the visible wires yet.







Someday I will get a nice alpine HU, jl tweeters, 200amp ALT, odyssey battery.

 

oh yeah and i paid around 200 for the battery,4 guage wires, and install.. to give you a price range unless ur gonna do it ur self

 

yeah i took out my seat to for my 15, looks good tho

 

The battery I need is $200 alone, but for that second bettery you have, IF you know, is the ground bolted to the cab and chassis or does it run up to the existing batteries ground under the hood.

 

im pretty sure its not ran up to the battery under the hood.. i think its bolted in the cab like 99% sure ;d

 

Well instead of me getting an alt, since the stock works fine when Im crusing around 1500rpms, would it be better for to drop a size on the pulley to allow it to run faster at idle.

 

2000 watts rms... yea 4 gauge not big enough... I don't run 4 gauge for anything larger than 1000 watts. after that it is 1/0 gauge.. and for that much rms output yes you will need to beef up the electrical.. i thoughtt eh alpine amps were only 500 ea giving you about 1000 maybe 1300 with the kicker amp running ur mids and highs.. but 2000 rms watts yea you need some beefed up stuff. I'm not sure hwo ur runnign stuff but it's a bit crazy with the wiring.

my suggestion is to rewire for your power and such.. go heavier gauge wire with a fuse that is big enough to handle what you've got.. send that back to a distribution block wehre you split off to your seperate amps.. also make sure you have a good ground. having the power wire all over the place with multiple fuses definately isnt' the entire problem.. but i'd never let something taht way in my car.. also a new battery and alt combo wouldn't be a bad thing or a cap.. but for a 2000 w rms setup electrical system strain is normal there's nothing really wrong with taht truck.

the reason being is because stock alternators put out maybe 135 amps.. at 14.4V obviously. you are getting voltage drops because you are sucking up so much current in the system with the audio that as you lose amperage the voltage will drop as you just suck the life out of everything. also if your wiring isn't efficient it can create more resistance resulting in more amperage lost and then even more voltage drop. so getting your wiring up to par would definately be in your best interests. 200 amp alternator would be a monster and do the job and then some... but with a high power audio system there really arn't many vehicles stock that have the electrical system to handle it. best way to explain amperage and voltage in a very very very simplifed way is this.. voltage is the amount of "strength" your electricity has. ie how much it can do.. like a powerlifter lifting a 600lb weight.. current or amperage is sorta like stamina.. how many times can you do it. so how many times the 600lb weight can be lifted. that's a really really simplified explanation. then as your "stamina" wears out you start to not be able to lift even the 600 lb weight and this would be where voltage drop comes in.

 

well i think I found the problem, the kicker amp has 3 30amp fuses, the two alpines both have 2 30 amp fuses. so all amp fuses add up to 150 and I got a second inline fuse on my power wire that is a 60amp that powers all the amps. so 4awg wire into a thin piece of metal in the fuse half way in the power wire? No wonder why the amps a power hungry. I need to rplace the fuse with a cap or something, I really really don't want to tear my truck up to rplace the power wire again.

Also, in the near future when I get time, Is there enough room behind the rear seats to fit two small amps that are a little less than 3" thick. I know theres a thin liner behing the seat but I've seen someone on here with a red truck that put his amps up on the rear wall. Who ever this is, hoe did it work out, did you put mdf up then screw the amps to that and how did you go with out screwing through the rear wall into the bed? I really need to get my amps off the enclosure so I can rip the subs out in two seconds when I need the seat.

 

IT was MSF212's truck. I just need to know how he mounted his amps to his truck.
heres his setup right here.
