Bronze Member Username: MercsableKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 55 Registered: Apr-06 | I am planning on getting a 2000wrms amp and I need to know if it is necessary to upgrade my charging system. Will I need a HO alt. or anything else? I drive a 96 Mercury Sable. |

If it were me - I'd wait. Install it - maybe make some improvements to factory wiring if it looks like it needs it. See what you've got. If you decide a big alt is req'd - then at least you know you need it. |

Bronze Member Username: MercsableKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 57 Registered: Apr-06 | Well it depends..Im willing to spend more if its worth it, but if i can buy a hifonics amp that runs 2000w at 1 ohm and its a good option, Ill go that route. If I need to spend a little more on a better amp I will do that. |
