Zero_Tolerance_ Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I recently just sold the first system I ever had. It was only pushing 400 rms from my subs and a 500 rms amp. I never had any problems such as light dimming or anything like that. The last vehicle they were in, my current vehicle, is a 1997 Chevy 1500. I'm just curious if the alternator in this vehicle would be able to handle a single 1000 watt rms sub and a similar watt amp to power it? Any help would be great.

fredz89 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 id look into a kicker, sundown, or crescendo. If your looking into some more affordable i think the Hifonics amps are pretty good for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF93 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 If you have a descent budget for an amp I would try to stay away from hifonics if possible, so many better quality amps out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
