[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4579526, member: 584454"] 2 18s and you're going to wire for 900RMS?! Forget it. Just a waste of money. Go with a single 15 or 18 and give it ~1000/1500 if you're looking for that loudness. You may get away with powering a 15" at 1000RMS with that alternator with an upgraded battery and another one in the trunk (looking at ~ $400 just for those two batteries) and the big three. Unless you plan on upgrading that alternator don't even waste your time with a single 18 let alone 2. If you don't want to do the big three, look for a 10 or 12 and power it at ~500RMS. [/QUOTE]
