[QUOTE="DarkMatterDM, post: 8892730, member: 693226"] I have been doing some research using Grok AI for a system I plan on putting into a 2025 Mustang GT Premium. An audio shop will do the install, and I plan on them doing the Big 3 first. I cannot find out the amperage on the stock alternator. Even dealerships don't know. However, Grok states around 50-80 amp draw baseline, and coupled with a 1k watt amp I'm in range of being safe from overtaxing the system based up on 2023 GT's. Assuming I would need a capacitor to be safe for the at time power demands. Number of subs preferred: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]2 Subs[/COLOR] Size preferred (if configuration allows): [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]10"[/COLOR] Budget: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Around $2K. Subs listed and amp around $780. Rest going to ANC bypass, PAC module to retain factory options, Amp wiring kit, etc.[/COLOR] Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Kicker46CXA1200.1T 1200 Watt RMS at 2-ohms[/COLOR] Space available (take measurements, do not guess): [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]From Grok AI: 46"W X 35"D X 15-18" H[/COLOR] Goals: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Loud bass. I've had sealed and ported setups on and off.

I had a pair of 12's same brand and ohm rating back in 2007 and they still are going strong today at a friends place. Kicker 44L7S102: 2-ohm DVC. While they have a bit more surface area to move more air, I'm concerned about the Freq rating topping out at 100Hz as I might lose some SQ, compared to the round ones topping out at 500Hz, but the enclosure will be ported so would that really matter? Would greatly appreciate anyone who knows or who has done an install on '24 or '25 Mustangs, and any input on the options I've listed. I've only tracked down one video of someone putting in 2 12's into the newer Mustangs. Assuming I use an ANC bypass, that's one less thing I'll have to do with Forscan, but I know there is an ESE(Electrical Sound Enhancement) setting that can cause issues and can be disabled via Forscan.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
