The underdrive pulleys turn the alternator slower and you get a lower charge. That means less power than before. Sub amp is 350W rms, and the head unit uses as much as 150W drawing as much as 1 amp (or so says the tech specs). I guess that's not all the time, so we'll see. I might pick up an amp...

I'll have to start getting technical. I think a 100Watt (25Wx4 or 50Wx2 for front components) amp would work. I wouldn't count on anything more than that though unless I whipped out the old multimeter and figured out exactly how far I can go somehow. I don't want to start getting into an area...

It's an 04 corolla I had to rebuild, and I put in some 12:1 pistons for better overall efficiency, lightwieght pulleys flywheel and crank, and one of those AEM water/methanol kits which lowers overalltemps (among other things) allowing you to tune to the most efficient fuel levels, where all of...

Thanks for the suggestions. This should be more than enough for me to sift through. I won't be taking off the pulleys. This car's primary purpose is a high efficiency eco driver. I get 55 to 60 mpg and it's not a hybrid. I'm looking for a much better sound than stock by upgrading the HU and to...

Hey fellas. My sub is the JL 12w6v2. The manual and website both recommend a sealed box that's 18"W x 14H" x 12.75"D at 1.25 cu ft internal volume. Yet they sell a 12w6v2 in a sealed box that's 24"W x 14-3/4"H x 12-1/2"D1 x 7-1/4"D2 at 1.45 cu ft internal volume (assuming 3/4" MDF). Sub is...

Hey guys. I have a new pioneer HU running 14 watts RMS per channel. My power budget doesn't really allow me to do a separate amp because I'm running underdrive pulleys that limit me to about what my sub amp puts out plus the HU's max power. So I have no plans to amp the front and rear ever. Is...
