[QUOTE="mastershake575, post: 8717097, member: 665251"] Agreed 100%. PT Cruisers don't have gigantic alternators + the voltage is computer controlled. Just as an example you don't want to buy subs that can take 1000 watts each and pair them with strong amplifiers and then reality kicks in and your car is barely giving each one of them 400 watts each + your voltages even with no load is barely touching 13volts. What you want the amps full wattage to be versus what it will actually be are 2 different things, thus conflicting the build. JT's point was you want to plan around realistic capacity Luckily even if you don't plan on dropping big money on electrical you have space/cone area going for you so it really shouldn't be hard to get loud.
