the stock amperage is set to 105 amps, and I had mine boosted up to 200 amps to handle any power expectations i might need.

that would be the way i go about it, rather than having the same thing happen again from lack of power.

nah, I just have my stock stereo setup, so I don't think I really need more amps (i hope). I'll probably just go with a new one since it seems easier.

I'll probably pick one up from autozone tomorrow and try and put it in when I have time (probably thursday) I'll let you guys know if I have any trouble.

mann, there goes my new intake money...
