If the only amp you'll be running is 1 500/1 it's definitely not needed.

Stop guys - it is a 500 watt amp.

I have run that amp in many cars with no upgrades at all with no problems.

OP you are just fine that way you have it

Your fine. Your doing the big 3 so that's plenty for a 500 watt amp.

I'd say 1200-1500 watts depending on the car and amplifier.
