Toyota Camry?
chances are that one won't be enough. especially with 3 amps.

considering that music has transients, and isn't a constant load on the power supply and battery, a 40 amp PSU will probably be enough.

the one above should do just fine, and its cheaper than the other one posted as it doesn't have all the features.

Considering each time his bass hits he will probably pull 80-100Amps... sure, that probably won't pop the fuse in the PSU but considering I don't know him and neither do you..I'm not going to say "She'll be right mate!"

Lol. Our Alpine demo board has 2 40 amp regulated power supplies, we took one out and the music cut out running 4 speakers and one sub and mid volume. " She might be right Mate"

maybe just buy another battery, that way you could have one on charge while you use the other to play music with, but ur car will prob drain the battery faster than a charger will charge it

and considering that he's running the PSU along with a battery, a battery that can give 300+ amps, yes, it will be fine.

and during the periods in the music when the amps are only drawing 10 amps or whatever, the battery will get topped back up.
