[QUOTE="SHOemup233, post: 5087121, member: 578389"] I'm about 99% sure there is much much more involved with adding another alt. than just wiring it in. Otherwise people would be adding more alts left and right, instead of batteries. Which Mach 5 subs are you getting? You didn't specify. The IXL's are 1000 RMS so I'm sure not those, so I'll assume the MJ's. Those are 700 RMS, so you'd want an amp that does at least 1400 RMS, which the alpine doesn't. Kicker zx1500.1 maybe? Stick with the recommended enclosure size if you are going to be giving them the RMS - it is what is recommended for a reason. If you want to be as loud as possible tune to 38-40 hz...but then you'll miss a lot of lows. I'd recommend a 35 hz tuning to have the best mix of both worlds [/QUOTE]
