Miguels Posted August 28, 2012 Report Posted August 28, 2012 dont want to derail this thread more than what it is but building up that v6 wont give you better gas mileage than a v8 plus once you start adding weight like subs amp and batteries, that v6 wont have much power to drag with the weight making you consume even more fuel.. many people with RV's got rid of the BBC 454 going with a SBC 350 thinking they would save gas. little that they knew the torque on the 350 was not enough and ended up wasting more money on fuel. some even regret downgrading to a smaller engine... anyways go with the bigger amp my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

I don't plan on adding MUCH more weight than what's already there. I think it's time to start a new thread somewhere else for this matter....i've since already decided to go with a single amp.
