does anybody know the power draw on the us accoustics 4065 amp? just wondering if my alt and battery will be enough to handle my 2 kicker kx600.1 and that 4 channel. i could take one of the kx600s out but id prefer to run both and a 4 channel, and also what would be a would be a good 6.5 driver to run with my mb quart tweets, i have alpine 6.5s now but they are the fullrange.

also wondering if anybody has a good crossover for the driver and tweets laying around they want to sell for a good price or get rid of?

umm, if thats 1200+ watts in amps, no, you wont be able to run it off of your current amp and battery, you will need a High output one(read my article on charging systems, it gives more detail) for 6.5s look at infinity kappa, mb quart, CDT, rainbow and dynaudio. for more detailed information i would need to know the type of budget you are on for these 6.5s :)

i know the amps are 600 rms@2ohms but rated at 14.4, and im only runnin at 4 omhs each. well id say anything around 150 give or take, but i only need the driver and i dont see to many places selling just the driver.

The USX-4065 is rated at 30 amps max, before the fuse will blow... see this link: http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-30OwBttucHn/ProdView.asp?a=&s=0&cc=01&g=120&id=essential_info&i=235USX4065

The Kicker amps mentioned are 300 RMS per each (4 ohms load?)and has 2x30 amp fuse per amp. So, looking at a max current draw of ~120 ampers of current for both Kicker amps. See this spec: http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-30OwBttucHn/ProdView.asp?a=&s=0&cc=01&g=130&id=features_and_specs&i=206KX6001

A bit confusing to me as I would guess that a class D amp would be more efficient with that much current draw. I assume the real out put is ~300 RMS @ 4 ohms and ~600 RMS @ 2 ohms. You may want to check the Kicker web site for for additional details.

In all, you'll need a large Alt/Bat and heavier gage wiring to manage all that current. Probably 200-250 amps Alt and ~1000 CCA rated battery and #2 gage wire between ALT/BAT & BAT/GND, will get the job done.

Lots of current to pull from any stock system!
