[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8717452, member: 665412"] You're obviously still learning, like most of us, so pick something proven as far as subs go. Upgrade your alternator output FIRST if you can, i understand some cars are terrible for that - either way get the biggest alt you can. From there you NEED battery reserve unless you're like me or others with LS block engines where a dual alt upgrade is very cheap. I get by with a 15k amp (around 10kw clamped) with 2 alts, and 2 banks of caps because of my alt output. DD is a good brand but god they are expensive unless you get dealer cost. Something as simple as a Fi SP4 18 with the [B]proper built box[/B] and a md 8k and some reserve batteries will get you what you need... provided you spend time on the box and orientation of the power/drivers to get it loaded properly. You have a decent amp as is, power it properly, get a good sub, not some relatively unknown brand, and build the right box. We're what, 9 pages in? Keep. It. Simple. Stupid. [/QUOTE]
