[QUOTE="topdawg, post: 8270961, member: 656404"] I agree with Boom Taco. Sounds good. I would also run the dash speakers off of the radio rather than running the rears off of the radio. Won't hurt the dash speakers and gives the rears more power. If you do choose to go with a monoblock for the subs, then i would try to get them wired to 1 or 2 ohms. Most amps are 1 ohm stable ( I say most with heisitation. Just do the research to be sure). As far as the alternator goes, the stock one should be OK. the Big 3 never hurts. I say if you have the extra wire do it. Word of caution though, the power wire is connected to a brass bolt going through the fire wall. This bolt is very fragile since it is brass. When I did my big power wire run I snapped mine in half. I just went to a local hardware store and got a replacement rod. The metal is not as conductive as brass but still works just fine. The fact that the battery is in the trunk can be a bit troublesome. I also kept the stock 2 gauge run and just added a 0 gauge run to it. If you wind up taking the wheel well of, those rivets are not reusable and have to be bought new. These are just some issues I ran into with my power wire run.
