Post Number: 5380 Registered: Jul-06 | You don't NEED to run two amps but those subs can probably handle one of those amps running at 1 ohm no problem.If it was me I'd run one 2006D on each sub.If you plan on doing that you better have an upgraded alternator and some good wiring and a nice battery or batteries. |
Bronze Member Username: Jman223Post Number: 18 Registered: Oct-07 | that was my next question i dont really know any thing about alternators so i didnt really want to upgrade it so would i need to get a sub without as much power to keep my alternator i have??? |

Bronze Member Username: Jman223Post Number: 20 Registered: Oct-07 | is that rms? could i run 2 12 ssd's on stock, also i dont know how much would a good alternator cost that would work well with 2 12's Bl's |

Post Number: 1758 Registered: Dec-06 | do you know how many amp your stock alt is...?if not what kinda car is it. 2 fi subs will be very hard to run on a stock system cuz at least its 1600rms and unless you have a very good stock alt its too much. if you are gunna run 1800ish rms you could get away with a 180amp alt |
Bronze Member Username: Jman223Post Number: 21 Registered: Oct-07 | i have a 2005 ford explorer not sure on the alt. but how much does a good alternator cost me to run 2000wrms? also i will need to factor into my budget the wiring and istall. if you could help me with a price range that would be great. |

Bronze Member Username: Jman223Post Number: 22 Registered: Oct-07 | thanks but im still looking to hit those Bl's at 2000rms but we will see how expensive it gets, still need to figure out what type of wiring to go with. |

Bronze Member Username: Jman223Post Number: 24 Registered: Oct-07 | yeah but i dont know the right kind and rms on the alt. |
Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1762 Registered: Dec-06 | its either 115 or 130. either way thats not enough. you may be able to run up to 1500 (mabey) but i dont know. you should deffinitly get a new alt if you want anything about 1400rms. thats my opinion |
