[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8234803, member: 628688"] Put a charger on that battery before you kill it. With appropriate woofers and kick panel design and implementation you could have midbass in the kick panels and midrange in the doors. You need to have control over each pair of speakers at the least to make this work well, and at bare minimum that means a high pass and low pass filter just for the kick panel speakers. Don't have two sets of speakers playing the same thing. Mounting amplifiers to the back of the rear seats is practical and easy. Going back to the wiring and charging system, definitely at least upgrade the grounds between the battery and chassis and between the battery and engine block. 550W RMS is not a lot for that vehicle, and unless there's something wrong with the alternator power cable you could leave that and just clean up the connections. Upgrading to 150W per side on the speakers is not going to make them get much louder, and you're more likely to cause damage. We run extra power for better dynamics, when you're talking about headroom. [/QUOTE]
