Good shit kid!!!!!! I was thinkin about that one for my CDT's but I got the VGA600.2 instead 150x2 @ 4ohms. I thought I could do the VGA 320.4 and just Bridge it but it produces 320 x 2 @ 4 ohms!!!! So I got the 600.2 for the HD-62 comps and I'm gonna use the HU(50x4) for the rear fill CL-6x. I wanna hear those comps sing. Let us know how the 320 works out for you.

I also got the VGA1600.2 for my sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

Well I think that the 320.4 is underrated so all of my speakers will probably be getting aroun 90W, rather than 80W. The factory rating is at 13.8V so hopefully with 14.4V, I can get a little more power. I was thinking about the 1600.2 for my subs, but that is going to be way to much power for me to use, but I decided to go with the 800.2. My CDT subs handle 400W RMS so with the underrated 800.2, hopefully I can get around 420 WPC.

It should sound awesome. Give us an update once it's all installed. I should have everything for my system finally within the next couple of weeks.

Sweet amp- I had the 320.4- you wont be dissapointed

1600.2 along with a 320.4 is alternator overkill IMO though- so take all pre-cautionary steps

Im not going to use the 1600.2, Im using the 800.2. I think I should be ok.

How beefed up does the electrical system have to be to use 1 1600.2 and 1 800.2 and 1 of the 4- channels,say the 320.4? Will a 200A alt and 2 batteries(probably Odyssey) suffice?

 

[LIGHTBEING 10+ year member]

I'm probably getting a 180A-200A and doing the "Big 3" cuz of the VGA1600.2 and the VGA600.2 with hopefully some amps to spare. Why are you getting the 800.2 and the 320.4, lotta interior speakers? Not sure but I have a feeling you may need to go slightly bigger on your alternator but I guess someone more qualified should answer.

In any car, with any system that you will be using on a daily basis, I would reccommend the big 3.

Well driving a E46 is a blessing and a curse. BMW mounted the battery in the trunk for weight distribution, however, it makes it very difficult to do the big 3. Fortunatley, BMW provided me with a pretty robust 120A stock alternator. What I plan on doing since I cant do the "Big 3" is upgrade my engine grounds, battery grounds, and if need be get a higher performance battery. Hopefully this will keep everything straight.
