I think with 500w rms you should not have problems. check if your alt/battery are in good shape.

idk how old my battery is i gust bought my truck like 8 months ago and dont know how old the battery i dident ask them. but with that much power my windows rattle and my doors and my 4 and 6 inch fenders shake to so its hitting decently hard. and idk the altanator might be gettin old. how do i check how much power its giving or something??

If your car is falling about on that much power you might want to invest in a new one.

haha yep i do want to invest in that lol but this is my first car the only 1995 - 2003 toyota tacoma in my city with fender flares so its awsome in my opinion since i like standing out but i dont like how the new tacomas look.
