[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 8099894, member: 631331"] From what I can see, it looks like your have a stock 160amp alternator in that vehicle. I think you would be comfortable running around 1500watts rms on that. If you are going to run around 1500watts rms or more, I would highly recommend upgrading the Big 3 (alternator power, engine ground, chassis ground) to 1/0 or 0gauge wire. The big 3 are the 3 major power cables for your vehicle. The main power line running from the alternator to the batter, and the both the grounds. Doing this will increase your power handleing, and make things easier on your electrical system. If I were you I'd aim for a 1500watt system. So look for subs that can handle that many watts rms total. so 2 750 watt rms subs, or 3 500watt rms subs. whatever you want. Then try to find a 1500Watt amp that will do that many watts at the ohm load you need, which is dependent on the subs you choose. Your budget will come into play here. Make sure to allow room in the budget for wiring. [/QUOTE]
