Hello all, new to owning a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and new to the forum. I am looking to add my audio system to this new car of mine. I have 2 amps totaling 1000w RMS between the two of them, I am sure they never really get to the full 1000w as I do not crank the knob wide open. The 2 amps power 4 speakers and 2 10" subs. I would be adding component speakers to the front, 6x9s to the rear deck, and 5x7s to the rear doors (the rear doors will be powered by the head unit. I picked up a PAC adapter to keep the factory headunit and sync, but add a 4 channel RCA connection. I wanted to replace the battery with a more powerful one, like a kinetik 2000w but it just won't fit. So I am thinking about using the 1/0 gauge wire I ran to the trunk and connecting that to a 200amp isolator and then to a 2000w kinetik battery in the trunk and running all of my equipment off of that battery. My question: Is this OK to do in a hybrid? Since there isn't a traditional alternator. Or do you think that the Motorcraft 65rc is enough?
