Do you feel it is essential to change the tire loading size for the added extra weight of a system?

how bout shocks and springs,,,opinions plz

and of course facts,,,Do you feel it is essential to change the tire loading size for the added extra weight of a system?
Just how much does this system weigh? Are we talking about a normal system with a bigger alternator, a second battery, 6-8 speakers and two subwoofers, a capacitor and four amps? Because all up that's only going to weigh 200 pounds or so, which isn't enough weight to require suspension upgrades.



However, if you're going to be fitting a huge show system to a vehicle, something like a full custom fibreglass interior, 24-32 speakers, 8-16 subwoofers, 16 amplifiers, 8-16 capacitors, 8 batteries, twin truck alternators, many miles of heavy guage wiring etc. etc. etc., then it could all add up to over a tonne - in which case if you want to be driving this vehicle on the road, not only should the suspension be heavily modified, the chassis should be strengthened, the brakes should be massively upgraded, stronger wheels with much higher load rating tyres should be fitted, the power steering pump and rack may need to be strengthened/modified, the list goes on and on!
