[QUOTE="aarunt1, post: 570306, member: 552930"] I don't know if this has been answered b4 so if it has please direct me but I really need this answered. I have a 98 Dodge Neon and I don't know how many Amps the Alternator is, but I think it might be around 85A so if my BP1200.1 pulls 120A max should I still be getting the 1200w all the time or no? I ask this because I don't feel as tho I'm getting the full 1200w. I figure I should be feeling my hair move and my clothes vibrating with the bass, but I don't really at all. I don't know if I'm just used to it or wat but that doesnt sound right to me. I know my wiring is correct and my Mag is wired for 1 ohm and my amp is using 4G wire to the battery and ground. My box is 3.5ft^3 tuned to 33hz so I should be getting alot of bass with good SQ. I don't think it is my box. I know box design has alot to do with SQ but it should be loud regardless. I figure if the box sucked then there would still be alot of bass just it wouldnt sound so good but it sounds really clean. I just don't get why its not as loud as I think it should be for 1200. I think most people would agree 1200w is alot of bass. SO i', guessing maybe its my Alternator? If my Alt is 85A then I gues that means it will only put out 85A max? SO i wouldnt be getting the 1200w? Im not sure about this because I dont know how that works. Also wat could I get at the store to test how many watts is going to my Sub. Please help me out here, Thanks [/QUOTE]
