[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7311478, member: 631331"] Well either option is best, I think it would be hard to afford a 2channel and a mono on that budget but u never know depends on the sub ur gonna use. both options a 4 channel and a 2channel with another mono will work fine. Just look into how much power u need and what prices you can afford. 1 ten and 2 5 1/4 components should run easily off the stock alternator. You just need to look into how much amperage you're vehicles alternator puts out and how much amperage (fuse rating should tell you this) you're amps are going to be drawing and factor in roughly 60amps to run all the cars lights/accessories/wipers. I'm running a 3600watt rms and a 800watt rms amps off my stock battery and alternator for now. I have dimming for sure but even cranked I don't seem to be drawing too much juice. I'm going to need to upgrade my electrical eventually but I'll be ok for a while. I'm guessing you're system will be around 800-100 watts rms which should operate just fine off stock electrical, however I would highly recommend upgrading your Big 3 to 1/0 cable.
