Not sure if a 2200 watt amp would be too much for my FI Audio Q 18 to handle... but thought I would make sure... and does anyone know how much it actually puts out, True RMS? Also What kind of electrical would I need... I haven't herd from Mechman on an alternator quote.... I sent it in 2 weeks ago... haven't herd a word back... I know I need a big 3 upgrade and 1/0 run back. Is there anything really else that I need?

You never stated if the sub was DVC1 ohm or DVC2 ohm. You have to also remember fi coils are .7 ohm or 1.4 ohm.

So you can either wire it to .7 or 2.8 ohms. If you have right electrical to support the amp, most likely you could wire to .7 if you go easy on the gain, i would go about a 1/8 to a 1/4 below the clipping point. But if you want to play it on the safe side, just run it at 2.8 ohms.

would stock alternator, big 3 upgrade, and an xs power 4800 in stock place work? i mean eventually i will upgrade to like a 200 amp alternator.

Personally i would upgrade the alt.

I havent herd from mechman, they dont make an alternator for my car from them..., put in to get a quote on an alternator, haven't herd back a word. I can buy a bosh 200 amp alt.... but im not sure about it.

At the very least add another battery. That sub can take the amp just fine, just watch voltage until you get an alt. Don't get the Bosch. Have you tried contacting any other alt builders?

personally no. Im thinking I will try tonight, what alt builders should I contact?

Also, funny thing is, my car only tells me when i have low voltage or something with the battery light... so I will have to order a volt meter.
