I'm gunna be purchasing the following in the near future:

PG Octane-R 2.5:2 Amp
PG Octane-R 5.0:1 Amp
JL Audio 12" W3v2 Sub
Playstation 2
2 x 7" Sunvisor Screens
Pioneer DEH-P7600MP MP3 Headunit
17cm Infinity Components

Will my crappy little 1.0 litre corsa battery be enough?

Im thinking not, how much of an upgrade am i gunna need to power that lot?

Thats nothing too major, just an uprated diesel calcium battery from halfords and maybe a cap should sort you out.

Cheers Richie

Also, do you think the PG 2:5:2 would be enough to power my components?

Ive seen varying stats for them, some places say they only run 50w RMS so im not sure.
