Question g35 audio upgrade

I am about to buy a 2003 g35 auto, im wondering if anyone has had any issues with there interior or engine because of an audio upgrade. i plan on putting 2 12in sa12s on a 2000 watt amp, a c&d 540 battery, and 2 runs of 0 gauge welding cable and a high output alt. anyone with a big setup have any problems?

And what are you gonna do for power?for example i only have a 600w with 2 cheap 12 and half volume my idle jumps.
third, where are you gonna hide the 0 gauge inside the car?

Just run it through the giant rubber grommet that everything else uses. It's right there with the battery. Cut a small hole in it and seal it up with a regular grommet fitting.

There's room for a couple 0 gauge wires along the bottom of the doors:



With the wire tucked under:

i never went that far since my wire is only a 4,the problem i am running in to is the idle jumping(at volume)i guess need to invest in a Farad.
and just to make sure are you a coupe or a sedan?
edit,never mind you are a sedan,could you please upload a picture of your blue harness from the bose amp,if thats the way your connecting your setup,and not from the LOC unit.
Thanks

There should be a thread about that
Otherwise yes your drawing a little bit more power than what the car is designed for
basically the idle jump,but i have not noticed any difference at higher RPM like light dimming or ecu cut out or any jerkyness.
Hope that helps.

that doesnt make any sense to me, i have a 99 saturn sl2 with a 1200 watt amp wired to 1 ohm and 0 gauge, my stock alt is 90 amps and i dont have any idle jump in that car. 600 watts is nothing, your alt should be able to handle that

yeah ive gone through about 200 pages of audio threads here and have found some good info. mostly people saying that they have alot of rattles, but being in car audio i know i need to sound dampen so thats expected.
