if you're asking questions like this, you will probably blow them when underpowering them, by clipping them.

so...you really think you can run 3kw with only the front battery and stock alternator? maybe you should do some research before you buy anything...

no im going to have a secondary battery,read it should be fine as long as i dont run it full power till i get a ho alt

maybe get 1 MX and 1 sundown saz1500d, then when you upgrade your electrical get 1 more MX and 1 more sundown saz1500d

260 - 300 amps should do the trick. You'll need at least one big *** secondary battery as well.

NO!

Those subs are rated for 1,500 watts EACH. That means you'll need 3,000+ watts rms for a pair. It's simple addition, bro...

Buy this amp: Crescendo Audio :: Amplifers :: 3KWP Monoblock Amplifier

It's the same amp as a Sundown saz-3000d, aside from two small things. 1. The Sundown costs around $550 used and the Crescendo is $550 bnib with a 2 year warranty. 2. The Sundown has a black heatsink with a brushed aluminum accent strip and the Crescendo is gold.
