You can exceed 1000watts rms but you really should get a Stinger or Oddyesse Dry cell battery if you want any kind of life out of the battery if you are pushing this kind of power.

The battery is the only weak link here in the 370Z.
I honestly do not want to get into a war about this. I use to swear by caps and all back in the day. Than I found out somethings about them and all. Yes they do help take some load off the electrical system. But if you do need a cap you would be better off getting a new alternator or a second battery. Like I said people have there opinions. So let's agree to disagree.

Big-A, I am in no way disagreeing with you at all. In fact I totally agree with you. Caps are not the answer. I was just adding in the fact that the 370 already has a great alternator. The stock batteries in the Z are not very good and will not last long.

I am just recommending to anyone who does a major system in the Z to NOT overlook upgrading the battery as well.
