[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5735211, member: 584344"] Assuming you mead the AQ1200D, and assuming you'd be running it at 1-ohm... That's about 125 amperes RMS, at least. Not sure on the alternator for that car... but you're probably gunna need an upgrade. I'd recommend getting a 250 ampere alternator. At least getting a few batteries for the back. But, that's just a band aid... and odds are it will be as expensive as a 250 amp alternator. You can try it with out the alternator, and just try your luck with the big 3. But if I was doing 1200 @ 1-ohm, especially 1-ohm, I'd upgrade my electrical unless the electrical is badass stock. That's for you to do research on. [/QUOTE]
