[QUOTE="HawaiianBassHed, post: 8607577, member: 561570"] I ran a few different sub stages in my last trailblazer. I just got another one monday, an 04. I recommend reinforcing the roof as well as getting an alt from like dc power say an xp270 I'm guessing you have a 4.2L since it's more common.

Northstars are on black friday sale at gp [URL="http://gpcaraudio.com/battery/"]Best Car Audio AGM Battery[/URL] I'd say minimum 1 run 1/0awg from the front batt to the rear. Last TB I did 2 and probably will in this one. I run an ampere 5000.1 on sub duty and mids/highs I change up a bit but currently have a rockford T300-2 or something, birthsheeted 900rms 14v and is 1ohm stable.
