After doing some reading here and elsewhere, I'm thinking about getting a high power headunit to drive my front pair and rear pair of speakers. I would then get a seperate amp (200-300 W) to drive an 8 inch in the back. Couple of questions:

1. Someone told me there's a way to divert all base responsibilities to the subwoofer and allow my smaller speakers to just focus on mids and highs. What do I need to do for this?

2. Will one of the $300 Alpines have sufficient power to drive the front and rear speakers without the subwoofer load? How much power can these Alpines push?

3. I have a Tahoe. Will I need to upgrade my electric system with a more powerful alternator to keep from draining my battery?

4. I also need to get an OnStar adapter. Any recommendations?

 
I also have a tahoe and the electrical system is fine as long as you use a good wiring kit and upgrade the battery. and you are going to have to go bigger than a 8 inch I have a 12 inch in the back and wish I went with 2 12's. Go with MB quarts and if you have to get one sb go with the custom center sub that fits between the seats.

Id sit down and figure out exactly what all you will be installing for amperage consumption and add another 10-15% amperage useage on top of that...
