[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8853153, member: 674149"] Have you talked to him about the electrical? I really want to get deep on this, but lets see how this goes. When you add that amp, you add about a 10 amp draw for every 100watts. 1,000 watts, is about 100 amps. Not sure on what sub you are looking at, but you will also want to get the BIG 3 done, and your factory mustang alternator might not be big enough depending on your amp and sub combo. That head unit is about half the budget, and a quality alternator aftermarket alternator might eat up another quarter of it, unless you have some other upgraded options. Even if you're getting a deal, you should still plan out your entire system before getting anything done, (other than the big 3). [/QUOTE]
