[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 212240, member: 540940"] No one will be able to give you a definite answer on this one. Some people have problems with 500 watts on a 90A alternator, and some people run 1000 watts with a 70A alt with no problems at all. However, personally, I think 115A would be fine for the application you're talking about. As for the second sub -- will you be changing the load on the amp? How do you have the single sub wired? How will you wire them when you add the second? Regardless - chances are the output of the amp won't change all that much. Based on the ratings you gave the pioneer is 150x2 @ 4 ohms and 200x2 at 2. So even if you're going from stereo to bridged I don't think the power change is really worth considering. Basically I think 115A would be fine. [/QUOTE]
