I'm going to try to get 2 Alpine R's 10"s in the trunk, along with some Alpine SPR-17C for the front four speakers. To do this, I was thinking of buying these two amps: Speaker amplifier: Alpine PDX-4.150 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17194 Subwoofer Amplifier: JL Audio 1000/1v2 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18475 Now the question I have is, will my alternator be powerful enough to run both of these amps? If not, if I went to the 500W JL amplifier option instead of the 1000W, would my alternator be powerful enough then? |

At the same time stock electrical systems are getting more and more demanding. w/the 500/1 odds are you'd be ok. It might even be ok with the 1000/1, but if you listen a lot at high volume there may be some voltage problems. Personally, I'd get it installed before I beat myself up about a problem that might not even exist. |

I can get you a great deal on a RD or Sundown 1000D. More efficient, and you will pay nearly half for them as what you pay for that JL. www.rdaudio.net www.sundownaudio.com Shoot em an email if interested. Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |
