[QUOTE="Mudflap, post: 8814809, member: 686701"] Hi, I'm currently running a 117 stock alternator and a decent battery (Redtop Optima). I already have a 4 channel amp running 100 RMS x 4 and I'm thinking about upgrading my subs. I'm planning to build a box for 2 10's with 3 cubic feet of internal volume. I've narrowed down my choices for subs to these two.

($650 total) I also have been looking at the Sundown SIA 2500 watt amp that is $300, but it scares me a bit because of the horror stories I've heard about some Brazilian amps and non stable electrical systems (like mine if I run that much power.)
