[QUOTE="The Camry, post: 8529571, member: 657974"] Lol. You need some more balance. More power to your mids, less power to yours sub. When you throw a sub into a box, you get a thing called rise and you lose a significant amount of rms. so if your amp is rated at 1500rms at 1ohm and your wired at 1 ohm. your probably seeing around 1k realistically. So factor that into power needs. im running a ton of gear. 150x4, 100 x2, 1000x1, all off a stock 80amp alt and a wal mart battery but im VERY careful with my voltages. i have a volt meter integrated into my dash now. Basically i can pound all i want but i have to turn it down at lights or on hot days i have to be careful. It depends on your gear as well, amp efficiency, topology, as well as build quality comes into play. I know that if i was as hard on some crappy gear as i am on my gear, it woulda toasted a long time ago. Good amps can handle lower voltages without blowing up. [/QUOTE]
