No cuz of your DVC option. You need 1000w rms at 2 ohms. My suggestion would be kicker zx 1000.1 or jbl gto1201.1

A stock electrical system can usually support 1000 watts.

"A stock electrical system can usually support 1000 watts"

It depends M.S cuz i have 1000w rms and my lights dim a lot. Haven't checked how bad is voltage drop. Usually, 1000w rms+ needs electrical upgrades.

Terrance, dimming depends, but you will have voltage drops for sure. Tell us the size of your alternator.

Try doing big 3, getting a kinetic battery and if your voltage keeps higher than 12.5V you're ok. If not, then grab a HO alt

Thats a big alt for stock. It should work.


Can't say that the lights won't dim though. Lights dimming is sometimes caused by the voltage regulator and there's not much you can do about it. As long as the voltage stays above 12.5 the electrical system is good.
