Was the amp actually doing 2.4kW or did it just say that in the manual somewhere?

Your electrical system is failing to feed your starving amp. Beef up your electrical so that it has more current output.

ok if i just get 2 new battieries and maybe a cap would that help alot?

you need a HO alternator. The extra batts will just add more things to be charged

Well bl's are 1000 watts RMS. so 2000 watts or more.. That means a deep cell battery, 0 gauge, plus another battery in your trunk, running the big 3... So if you want to do all that then i would say go for it. But you wont be able to breath in your car, you will hardly be able listen and drive at the same time. It will be very loud and expensive. 1 BL or Q would do you just fine im sure.. Put it this way my one Fi Q 18 is louder than my old 12L7s and better SQ by a mile. Fi rocks man.

lol. when I first talked to you, you thought kicker, JL, and rockford were the best ever. glad to see you've seen the light.

just a question for you all_state_34... i have a 99 grand am but, how do you plan on fitting two 15s back there? would you seal or port them because i have 2 12" ssds in a 4^3ft net ported box. And the dimensions i used were pretty much the biggest i think i could fit without building inside the trunk, its 32W x 15H x 22D. I would probably be able to increase the depth and width maybe an inch or two but the height was pretty much as high as i could make it without having to cut some metal where the seats fold down.

If you have another way lemme know because at one point i was considering doing two 15s i just dont think i have the space.

how big of an alternator do i need to run 2000 plus watts without my lights dimming?

all the questions you are asking have already been answered a million times search the site a bit. As for 2 15s in a grand am? a wall is the only way your going to be able to properly fit 2 15in BLs i dont care if its a coupe or sedan. Y ou have a lot to learn before you start talking about building a wall

ok say i got 2 15's to go in a 01 grand am... I want to really loud would i be better to go with 2 sx 15's or 2 bl 15's? and how power would it take to power these 2 15's?

you had better start thinking about buying an alt, 1-2 deep cycle batt's and some big wire... before you start talking about buying the equipment...

I own a GA, and I dont think you are gonna get 2 15's into the trunk with proper airspace. Hell, I am worried how I am gonna get 4 cubes in that **** trunk for both my alphas...
