Default Battery/Alternator Power

Would i be able to run a 12 inch w6, with upgraded hids for headlights and fogs and leds for DRL's with no power issues? Or would i need to upgrade something? 2009 is250 awd with nav (if that matters)

You'll be fine. I used to have a JL 12W6 with a JL 500/1 before I went with my big system. I also had all the lights you speak of. Maybe a capacitor.

I just recently had to change my alternator.I have all the led and hid lights and a 10in w3 with 500 watt amp.Id say get a capcitor or get someone to bump up your alternator to withstand the amp.
