[QUOTE="jc4def, post: 8255345, member: 659792"] There are PLENTY of companies out there that will build alternators for your car DC and Mechman are a few. The big 3 definitely helps take some load off of your electrical because it allows the power available to get there easier relieving some strain your system could be seeing. Most likely if your getting it installed they would probably run it to 1 ohm but to be sure i would suggest just asking them to run it at 1 ohm. Now between the 2 subs... i cant say i have ever heard the SA X-12 but i have heard many other Sundown subs and they almost always sound great now that being said I personally am getting a SQ HDC310 in my little miata because i personally love the value that SQ has plus they hit hard and sound good. Honestly they are both going to be great subs at that point i would say its preference. By the way if you want to run it at 1 ohm make sure you get one dual voice coil 2 ohm woofer or two of either 1 or 4 ohm dual voice coil subs. I would personally suggest getting a new battery one from xs power or something shouldnt run you to much just make sure its the right dimensions and your set. I can tell you with my current setup (1500 watts rms to a single 10 and 450 watts rms split between 4 6x8s) my lights dimmed ALOT until the big three and still do a little so i plan on alternator and second battery next :P [/QUOTE]
