Couple questions

#1. I have an 80 amp stock alt. It is running a aftermarket HU and a 500rms class A/B amp. The lights dim slightly when everything is cranked up but barely dim when the car is moving. How much more can that thing handle? Can I go to a 600 or 800rms class D amp from either Kicker or MTX or something?

#2. I am keeping my RE's for my SQL setup but I want 1 15" for major SPL (with some SQ mixed in). I can do a 4-5 cubic foot box tuned to 35Hz. It would get about 500-600rms to it. I was thinking about either a CVR15, a Type R 15, or a Diamond audio 15. Any input on that would be appreciated.

any other opinions. Ya, I do post a lot on these types of issues. I like a variety of different opinions and such. Not only does it give me different ideas but it really lets me know what I want and am wanting to get out of my system.

First off you better hit the crack pipe again if you think your going to hit "major spl" with 5-600 watts. And the diming lights situation, you do realize class d amps are more efficient than class a/b. A/b are designed for front/rear fill for clean sound. Class d are designed specifically for subwoofers because there sound isn't as clear as a a/b amp. So you will probably still have diming with 1kw but upgrade to a g31 yellow top and upgrade your big 3 to 1/0 anything more than 1kw get a h/o alt.

Ya, so I could get a Kicker 600.1 and should be fine? That would be awesome.

If you got that amp you probably won't have your lights diming. But if you do do what is suggested above and you should be alright.

and by major SPL I meant, as much as I can get from my setup... I know it still won't be loud compared to most SPL competitors but I want as best as I can get it with 1 15". And would that Kicker 600.1 be too much for 2 RE12's? :/ They are 175rms apeice but can handle the Kicker 450.2 (500x1) just fine... I would keep the gain pretty low on them.

NVM about the RE's question. I would have to run the amplifier at 4 ohms mono because of how the VC's are configured. It would give it 300X1rms (rated power) but probably would be more like 400rms. What would be 1 good 15" that would get loud, low, and sound good that could take 750rms in a ported box?

well in the other thread you said you were going to use the amp u got now, which would push that sub perfectly.

true, imo i would almost gurrantee that the shocker sub would own the cvr, and type r in spl might get beat in sq though.

what about a Diamond Audio subwoofer? Are they supposed to get pretty loud/deep and sound pretty good? Something like the DIAMOND AUDIO 15 M6 TITANIUM. Thanks dustin for the help.

to be honest i really don't know that much about diamond audio. from what i hear there subs are more for sql but im sure in the right box they can probally get very loud.
