[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8506982, member: 628688"] I'm at my PC now. Unless I'm mistaken, the reason you're upgrading your amplifier is because your amplifier was essentially a hazard to your subwoofer and you want more power. We've probably all been in this situation so I get it. Remember there are two things that we can't get around. 1) It takes double the power to ideally attain an extra 3 dB SPL if nothing else changes in the system. I'm not sure if SPL on a meter is something you care about or if you just want it to sound loud. 2) If you want sustained high power it's going to need a strong power supply. To get more watts from a clamp test the vehicle needs to support roughly 100 amps per 1,000 watts. On normal music the current draw shouldn't be so high, but if you like super loud and sustained bass music you may need electrical upgrades next. [/QUOTE]
