[QUOTE="neonblack, post: 8320190, member: 568995"] Yes, I see that 10" subs are scarce at 150W-200W range. I suppose they need more power to drive them than 8" subs. If I upgraded to 10" x 2 subs that would put my battery in jeopardy I think and I don't want to mess with that. I did try the Big 3 upgrade about 6 yrs ago and my battery went dead within a month. I'm sure I wired it correctly according to tutorials. I have 8" x 2 Kicker subs (in separate fiberglass sealed enclosures) and Kenwood 7201 amp (150W @ 4 ohms, 2-channel) to power them. The subs are subtle and not as deep as I would like. Thanks for feedback. How much upgrading do people do to their car's electrical system to drive 600W-1000W subs? [/QUOTE]
