I tried running 2500w on stock electrical and ruined my alt... It was a 130a. So take that into consideration

I am want to run 1000-1500 watts, but if my electrical can't support that much I am going to go down to 700-1000 watts.

I'd stick to around 1000w. You're not going to be able to hear a huge different between 1000 and 1500. If you're concerned about output, just get the most cone area you can fit in your car.

^^^^THIS,

2 obsidian 12s or 15s would do well on that power.

If I were to get subs and 2 comp systems how would you separate the power?
