So i was wondering who has the biggest amp on a STOCK alero electrical system? Right now i got a Punch 401S, which is only 400 RMS.....It still makes my lights dim, i was wondering who is pushing the most right now without any failure (since im about to upgrade subs/amp and wanna know whats the limits without doing it myself :)

Sweet, i was planning on getting a Phoenix Gold 1200.1, so that should be fine, minus the lights dimming then.....Not sure which subs, possibly 2 L7's, or 2 Brahmas (if my graduation money is as much as expected...hehe)

I just installed an amp rated at 1000watt rms @ 2ohms with an 8ohm load. In other words, I have no idea what rms level the amp is working at, but the thing goes BOOM. Oh yeah, haven't paid attention to the lights... guess I should.

lol well its defintely not running anywhere near 1000 RMS if its at a 8 ohm load.....But im not sure the calculations to figure it out....maybe look at the birth sheet?

8 Ohms?? :eek: that would be about 250watts rms if im not wrong...
Get some diff subs or wire it diff man... cus thats G E T T O, get it to 2 ohms, or maybe even 1 :D , then u'd be cookin with GAS hahahahaha :P
