Add up the wattages of all your equipment? If your head unit puts out 50Wx4, then that's 200W, and if your sub amp is feeding 1000W to your sub, then add 1000W to it... it's not hard.

x2 ^ unless you wanna get technical then you could test everything with a DMM and get it exact but easiest thing to do would be add up everything from specifications.

thats max power from headunit, most actually only put out between 13-24 watts

so your saying i add everything up? that would give me... 10,200watts

people say that 10,200 watts will do the hair trick, and mine wont //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If you don't know how much power your amps are putting out...*sigh*

Read the stickies in the Amplifiers section, and set your system up right...

10g's huh... wow you have some really powerful stuff...

givertake two 4000 @ less than 1 ohm amps to the subs... and another 2000 for the front and rear speakers...

not likely

Yea... I think your numbers are just a tid bit off of reality bud...

Considering I'm running probably an honest 900-1000 total...

maybe 10k max power, doubt ur running anywhere near that with rms. Also just because u have the power doesn't mean it will do the hair trick. It has alot to do with ur car, the way the box is built, hell almost everything.

Not saying you have Boss amps but I'm willing to bet that whatever your using is garbage...
