  1. you can never have too much power.

    if it were me, I'd be running it at half ohm daily.

    we're not all stupid..

    To the OP, 2000w each is too much.

    You only have to look at RMS from woofers, never at peak ratings, those are useless.

    600 each will be much better and 600 each is perfect, they don't need more.

  2. I would use 16 awg wire.

    NO!

    use a 14 or 12AWG wire...it takes more power..than teh 16awg, and you have less chance to burn your speakers

    lol wut? :P

    You would have less chance of burning up your speakers when using 16 guage then 12 guage because resistance is higher thus less power to speakers.

    We do'nt even know if he uses a amp or not.

    If he does 12-14guage(12 because it's not really more expensive).

    But 16 guage will do if it's HU power.

  3. I would invest in a good alternator of atleast 300-350amps.(bigger=better)

    i think those amps didn't like voltage below 11.5-12v or above 16.

    SO if you don't have a voltmeter yet in your car, get one for 20-25 dollar.

    I have a DMM. I know it wasn't smart but I hooked it up the over the weekend and played with it for an hour or so. Using 4 gauge power cable from my old RF Amp kit, the Kinetik HC2000 and a Duralast 1000 CA battery I borrowed. The Maxximus has 4 hots and 4 grounds I kept each connection no longer than 8 inches in length directly to the battery. No alternator just those 2 batteries in the trunk played the whole time without dropping below 12.2v

    It still better to have a voltage meter in the car, those 20-25 dollars will save your amp.

  4. Nobody needs to get a realignment after stereo.

    You do need a realignment after throwing different rims on it.(tire balancing too)

    :orly:

    500+ lbs of stereo equipment might effect your cars weight and tire balance.

    it affects your tire balance? lolz, that was the funniest thing i have ever read.

    And if it was aligned PROPERLY before the install it is not necessary to realign.(except when you exceed the max weight the car can support, but then it's stupid to drive on the same suspension which is not rated for that much weight.)

    EDIT: blackedout, then your alignment wasn't perfect. OR if it's a old car sometimes they mess up the alignment with added weight. Modern cars or atleast good(wellbuilt) cars don't have the need to realign after adding a stereo)
