From my experience and from observing results of other builds, you're seeing a normal amount. It's usually a multiple of 2x to 4x the nominal load. Not necessarily +2 ohms or +4 ohms etc.. but a multiple of the nominal load. For example, if you're wired to 1 ohm and rising to 3, that's 3x the...

I thought it was common knowledge that sustaining voltage by supplying amperage results in more wattage. Keeping the voltage above 12.5-13v (resting voltage) at full tilt also lessens the wear/tear on the battery and alternator that's trying to keep up, which helps extend the life of those...

Why?

Check the impedance (ohms) of the stock speakers. They are probably 4 or 2 ohms. If they're 2 ohms then replacing them with aftermarket speakers may result in less "loud" since most aftermarket speakers are 4 ohms. Lower ohms = more wattage from amp (generally). If they are in fact 2 ohms then...

The Energie PR1900 is probably one of the cheaper options when it comes to a car audio battery that is rated to handle up to 1900W as a secondary source. Check it out

Tons of sub+box packages over at Designer Motorsports. Also amplifiers, wiring etc.. Brands like American Bass, SSA, Audiopipe, DB Drive, Massive Audio, Pioneer and others. There's a good chance that you will need a custom box built if you're trying to maximize the space. If you need help I can...

American Bass does, it is usually shown on the spec sheet that's included. Some of their product pages have a PDF download, others do not... yet. But all subs come with a spec sheet.

You will want to look at the RMS handling and impedance of the speakers. Then match it with an amplifier that can deliver close to the same RMS output at that impedance. A 4ch amp will be good if you are running two different model speakers with different specs. A full range amplifier will allow...
