For the AW1508T you will be good with between 1000-1200RMS without having to upgrade your electrical system. Your truck has an 145 amp alternator so you will be fine inside that range. A good choice for the money would be the Audioque 1200D which puts out 1200RMS @ 1 ohm. It costs $249 + ship and can be found here:

You would wire your sub like this to get a 1 ohm load:

i'd say audioque 2200D. I know that audiobahn will not handle that amount of power.. but that way he really knows he got the juice to push it |
