[QUOTE="dross93ranger, post: 7467599, member: 560916"] I am currently running 2 12" Type R Subs (SWR-1243D) powered by a Power Acoustik BAMF 4000-1D (Please don't give me **** over the amp, it serves me well). I had the subs wired to 4 Ohm so I was pushing around 1200W to them and the factory electrical handled it with ease. Today I rewired the subs to 1 Ohm so I am currently pushing around 2200W to them (I however will probably never turn the gain that high though). The stock electrical cannot handle this. I watch my gauge drop from 14V to 9V and my cd player turn off and a few seconds later turn back on. I know I need to do the big 3, but I feel like that alone will not fix the issue. I'm guessing I will need to get a new alternator as well. Is there anything else I need to do or is that about it? BTW if it matters, it is a 2000 Astro Van with the 4.3l [/QUOTE]
