[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8666763, member: 650438"] first thing is, I would definite get rid of the stock radio and throw in a quality head unit with 4 or more volt dedicated RCAs. You'll notice a giant increase in output. LOCs are pure garbage because they just amplify the sh*tty stock signal thats comming from the radio which already has cut levels of bass to protect the speakers that you are tapping it into along with whatever factory EQ its subjected to and other built in protection measures that completely fks up your output capabilities. LOCs are pure garbage. Either get an actual head unit with actual dedicated subwoofer RCA out or get a dsp with signal summing and DE-equalization fix. As for electrical upgrades, you'll need 0 gauge power wire (look up 2/0 welding cable royal excellene. A lot cheaper than car audio cable) big 3, 2nd group 31 battery in the trunk and you should be fine for a 3k amp. [/QUOTE]
