[QUOTE="tank313, post: 8378158, member: 665740"] Current set up; Head Unit: Kenwood KDC-BT755HD Fronts: CDT CL-61A-25 pro 6.5" components (rated 4ohm, 150rms each) Rear: Boston Acoustic 746 4"x6" (actually a 4" component 4 ohms 80rms each) Subs: 2 Fi SSD 12's dual one ohm VC (right now they're amped individually at 2 ohm looking to eventually wire them to a mono at 1 ohm) Amps: 2 Kenwood KAC-7201 (460rms@2ohm) Battery: Kinetik HC1800-BLU Wiring: all KnuKonceptz; 1/0 power, 8 gauge to subs (speakers not amped so factory wiring at the moment) and an old 1.5F capacitor Big 3 is done What I am planning on buying to finish it off; replace the two Kenwood KAC's with a Sundown SCV-1500D(1500rms) amp the speakers with a Sundown SAE-50.4 (50rmsx4 @ 4 ohm) rewire with KnuKonceptz ofcourse and add a second Kinetik HC1800-BLU right next to the amps to replace my POS cap I guess I have two concerns. 1. Will I be happy with the 50rms of the 4 channel or be wishing I bought bigger? The 100.4 is a little over rms for my rears and so I was considering an Incriminator IA3.4 (75rms) as the next step up. Also, the price jump from the 50.4 to the 100.4 is a big one. As far as my listening preference the factory HU is typically good enough for me but I occasionally wish it had more to give. 2. Do I need to upgrade my alternator or will the 2 batteries handle it. My factory alt. is 105amp. the two Sundown amps I am looking on getting have fuse ratings of 200amp alone. I'm worried I know what the answer will be but how much bigger would I have to go on a new alt? If there are any suggestions (in the same price range) to improve on what I'm planning I'm open to ideas. [/QUOTE]
