[QUOTE="Wfs0801, post: 8038821, member: 639251"] I had a post in a different section asking about wiring up my subs (yes, it will be 2 of them) and everyone over there told me to wire them up parallel to be a 1 ohm load and that it'd be cheaper to get a mono channel amp that is stable at 1 ohm. I've found one that outputs about 1,300W RMS at 1 ohm and I it's a brand that I've heard a lot of good reviews on so I think I'll be getting that. Basically everything you just posted has tied in with what others just told me, making me more confident that the mono amp at 1ohm is the cheaper and more efficient route to go. I think with this knowledge I'm officially done with everything regarding my HU, as well as my subs/amp (just need to take measurements for the box). Now all that's left is to get speaker sized for my interior speakers and find those and an amp to run them, which this information should help me on. Here's a question though, with these 2 subs, being powered by a 1300W RMS amp, along with the 4 interior subs/amp, would I need an extra battery? Or would I just need a high output alternator and to do the big 3 upgrade? [/QUOTE]
