every car has a charging system but yours is stock. so if your running anything over 1000-1200 watts your going to need an H/O alternator and the big 3 done. how much is ur budget? |

weren't the old XXXs rated at 1500 watts? I mean given they will take more, but still the 3250.1 is a little overkill. Not to mention RD is not the be all and end all that timmy makes it out to be. I would go with mmats amplifiers way before I went with RD. they have a smaller footprint, more efficient, and they are way underrated. I would buy a new alternator before you buy any amps though. check out excessive amperage, ohio generators, mean green, and couple others. |

The old XXX were rated 1500 rms, and the new ones are rated 2000. Problem is, they are so inefficient, you need 2500+ to move the big woofer.
As for alts, I never liked Excessive Amperage, I have seen/heard way too many issues with them. I LOVE Ohio though 
Amp wise, the 3250.1 would be perfect. Gives head room and you can set gains low.
