i think a 130amp alternator could work. but also if you do the big 3 upgrade it should help out to and use like a 2 gauge wire or 0 for better flow.

k so what does anyone think of two type X 10s mounted behind the tail lights, the boxes im getting hav 1 Cubic feet of air space so i no there big enough but there just a hair not deep enought so i gotta buy a 1/2 inch spacer to make it work. so i 130 amp alternator and a new batter with prolly 2 and 0 gauge wire, aith prolly 10 or smaller gauge wire to the subs.

yeah alpine everything, get parts that work well together not like rockford subs with a kicker amp, with jbl speakers, lol. all alpine, but yeah this pole thing didnt work like i thought it would, so i think im going to alpine stuff, and type X 10s with the alternator and better battery with a capacitor, prolly a 2.5 or 5 farad, and type R speakers, with a x100 or a x001 headunit, with the pdx-4.150 amp for my speakers(not turned up all the way)lol, and 2 pdx-1.1000 amps, with dynamat on in the trunk, doors, and the floor board of the whole car. but idk where to put my amps, idk about under the seat, ive had bad experiences with under the seats, lol tell me what you think, im prolly not gonna change my mind about anything but just where to put my amps

If you want it so loud outside the car why are you doing sound deadening?

cause i dont want my car to fall apart or rattle, my friend has 600 watts rms in his lifted for ranger with no dynamat and i could barrely hear it in my house so i figure 2 type X 10s with dynamat will still be loud enough,or ill just do the trunk and doors, or rear doors and trunk lol

dynamat doesn't usually fix rattles unless you happen to put it between the two things that are rattling together. The purpose of dynamat is to keep the outside noise out and the inside noise in.

Why the obsession with how loud it is OUTSIDE the vehicle?? Not only will you just end up annoying a lot of people (and some that would either steal your $hit as I know from experience or will just key your car up out of spite), but you sacrifice any high fidelity you could have through proper tuning.....the whole point to a high end car stereo is to maximize the fidelity INSIDE the car, not outside. My car has perfect bass inside the cab, but you'd be hard pressed to hear it outside which is how I want it and is how it should be.

out of curiosity what do you have for your low end. I've been trying to decide what I want for woofers. So far it's between image dynamics or jl, but I'm looking for ideas.

While I'm thinking about it, to the OP, IDMax 10s.

I'm running a single 12w7 powered by an Alpine PDX 1.1000. I've heard good things about image dynamics, but have never experienced one first hand and have never had a problem running JL's. I was convinced of their quality when I got a 12w0 back in the day and it took whatever I threw at it....100 watts or 700 watts....nothing fazed it.

No, I'm trying to show my lack of enthusiasm for your thinking your a badass by brandishing "nives" and thinking you get respect now.
