another battery would do, you wouldn't have to necessarily get a bigger alt... yet

hmmm i could probably sell it and get a good deal from a friend since hes getting 2 12" kickers.. hehe... hmm if i get 1800 kenwood amp.. i will more than likely have to get another battery or bigger alt correct?

This is the 1800 Kenwood I have. I don't run it any more but it served me well. I ran it with stock electrical and 4 gauge wire. It was my second amp and I abused the heck out of it. Sometimes bass boost full, Gain full etc. all kind of experiments while I was learning. Arcing it hooking it up etc. It still works great.

I also hit a 142.1 with it in stock 0-600 at a usaci event. People dog kenwood but my experiance with only one has been good.

Well at the moment you are running at 2 ohms, Or can be anyway. But down the road you may upgrade subs. Kenwood isn't rated for one ohm but the Hifonics is. Something to consider anyway.

Or I should say mine wasn't on the one ohm rating.

sell the subs/amp/box in a package deal.

or seperate,just dont sell the subs seperate unless you can find someone to buy the other

and buy another amp

then buy some subs and get a box made to their spec
