[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8693529, member: 650438"] simple just add the sub and buy a stinger voltmeter, connect it to the power and ground of your amp and have it up by the dash so you can monitor the voltage drops. Your car has a normal operating voltage of 12.6v to 14.4v If you see the voltmeter dropping to 11 or below, you just need to lower your sub level on the head unit or the gains on the amp until your lowest voltage drop is 12.0 to 12.2v. viola you safely ran your new subs. You should still be louder with double the cone area. SQ, should be similar. Make sure you wire it in proper phase and have fun dude. [/QUOTE]
