Ok so im planing on buying 2 Pioneer TS-W3002D4 Details here -

Pioneer TS-W3002D4 Champion Series Pro 12" sub with dual 4-ohm voice coils at Crutchfield Signature

and cant decide what amp yo buy to get the most out of the subs i want to use a ported box.

each sub has 1000wt rms, dvc's and 4 ohmm not sure what channel amp i need or what ohms to set everything on or how to bridge or if i even need to bridge and what is my best option to get the best sound because i know what there gonna be loud thanks!

Do you already know what running 2000watts will do to a cars electrical system?

Do you already know what running 2000watts will do to a cars electrical system?

based on how many questions he doesn't know the answer to, my best guess is no he doesn't

i can say you will need a AT LEAST a 200 amp alternator preferably 250+ amps(min. 250$), you will also need a second battery in trunk area(min 140$), you will also need to upgrade big three(min 50$), you will have to run 1/0 wire, good stuff not qpower of lanzar wire, maybe even 2 runs.(app. 100$). you will need numerous 1/0 gauge wire terminals also(20+ dollars), and upgraded battery terminals(20+$).

totaling around 500$ on top of what you are already spending on new equipment. only reason i mention the money issue is alot of people new to car audio don't really realize what it takes to run a system above 1000 watts daily. they normally think they need to just buy a HU, subs, box, and amp and they are good to go.

for alternators, there is an ebay seller named powermax. they make HO alternators, i can vouch for their real amperage as im running 2000rms(150 amps) 400 watts worth of off road lighting(30 amps), hid headlights(maybe 20 amps) head unit(10 amps), etc. so maybe 240 amps worth of stuff off it @ one time. and i get decent voltage around 13.5-13.8 above idle.
