I am working on a mount to put a second alt (200 amp) and two deca group 31 on my truck for the stereo, I am wanting to upgrade my sub amp to something in the 4-5K at 1 ohm (replacing rd 3250.1) will I run into issues with not enought power? By reading the Memphis likes a real good power supply and I imagine there are others. I just don't want to have an amp that I can't power.

I guess the z1a fixed the issues of the z1? Just a guess. There is a z1 for sale right now for 800 on here.

You know I was looking at the memphis 4k but I read about if you didn't have your electrical system down the amp wont last long. Thats the reason why I started this thred was to see if I have my electrical down enough to run a big amp and be safe or not.

I've never used Atomic but I have not heard a lot of good things about their costumer service I thik if I look that way I will look at the RD 5750 since Steve has never done me wrong in the past.
