it'll definately be better than probably anyone else around you, but not the same as if you had two of them.

you can find links to alt. stores in other threads and then you can get price quotes from the companies, but guessing figure about $200-600 for an ho alt. depending on your need/car (but don't hold me to that, others here are better informed than me).

check ebay for an ho alt. prolly 250-300 amp alt should be good enough for 3000 rms.

the two 12"s should be louder just because of more surface area. i haven't heard the havocs around were i live but from what i heard they are really nice and i'm thinking of getting two for my next car.

i've heard the arsenals and assasins and they both sound great. personally i like the two sub setup so i'd probably go with the 2 arsenals, but if you have the room and $ def. get two havocs.

getting a ho alt. depends on how good your alt. is, but its's safe to say you'd need one, just get one bigger than what you need so you have room to play with if you want to upgrade your system later on.
