[QUOTE="mastershake575, post: 8785215, member: 665251"] I know this probaly isn't the answer you want to hear but reality is unless your drastically increasing the box sizes/cone area then it's a waste to be honest. The difference between most 1-2k RMS subs (especially in a daily setup based box) won't be much. You have to upgrade your alternator. Most stock alts aren't rated for more than maybe 40 or 50 amps more then what the car needs to run (that doesn't translate to much power, especially after factoring in the effiecney rating of both the amp and alt). Were talking maybe 500-600 watts total for all speakers/subs You'll often hear people say "oh yeah i'm running 1k or 1500 watts just on subs alone on stock alt with no issues" and there speaking BS. Moment they get a new alt on same wattage there like "holy **** this is what it was suppose to sound like ?" If your keeping battery and alt stock then big 3 is a waste. Your not going to pull more power than what the stock alt (and stock OEM wires) can create so having a larger current opening isn't going to matter. Don't fall for the "bro science" [/QUOTE]
