What is less taxing on car electrical system?

[winkychevelle 10+ year member]

Soundstream Ta1.300D= 800w@4ohm,1,400@2ohms, 2,500w bridged 40hms(1ohm), and 3,000w@.5ohm
Alpine 1500 Watts x 1 into 4 Ohms

2400 Watts x 1 into 2 Ohms

I prefer the Alpine though it is 100 bucks more. I would run it at 4 with 750 on each sub. I could go up to sundown x series at 2 ohm, or add two more sa12's in the future

thats actually a really good amp and decently efficient at 4 ohm 87%iirc

that soundstream is junk in comparison

I am pretty much sold on the Alpine, besides, everything else in the system is and will be Alpine except the subs.
