new subs

So I'm about to buy my friends set up for a really good price and have a question. I'm getting 2 memphis mojo 15 d2 which are currently powered by a power acoustic gt6000 i believe. I know the amp isn't that good and I'm planning on getting a sundown in the near future but can i still use the power acoustic when i get the sundown? I'm eventually going to put in a 3rd mojo as well but i have such a tiny car so it will be hard. I know the Memphis website says these rms at 1750, how true Is that?

What do you want to use the power acoustic for? Memphis doesn't over rate their subs. Clean is the key

Can i use it as additional power because i can't get the sundown 3500 only the 2500

Using it with the sundown? Like running both amps to both subs? Really bad idea.

Yeah i kinda figured that. Just hopeful wishing. Do you know how big an alternator i should get for the sundown 2500? Currently only have stock 90a

If you're going to pay for a H.O. alt, I wouldn't even waste my time with anything below 300 amps, but if it's only for daily musical listening - You can get away with running a smaller alt (225 - 275 amp) if you have good batts & wiring, as you won't be pulling a constant max draw from any amp on music at listening levels - I'm talking regular music though, not all that decaf'd, chopped & screwed, slowed / ect. stuff, so if that's your thing then get the biggest alt you can as a sundown 2500 can draw 250 amps from your electrical system on it's own...

**** that's crazy didn't know they needed so much power. Is there a Watts to amps scale? i mostly listen to but not chopped and screwed just normal jeezy, ace hood. Will a 250 and a 2nd battery do?
