overkill?

[sdmf]

um well i was in the heat of the moment and i picked up a ppi 3000w amp, 1000w rms, is that too much for the hatchback to take? its going to power up 2 12" mb quart rwe 304 subs, 500w rms 1000w max. please let me know if it better to sell than to keep. wouldnt want to buy a new window set for the rear.

lol I dont think you would bust the windows out, but your definately going to have a crapload of bass....

ive seen a couple videos on here from a member that got banned i think of multiple setups, and if he didnt blow the windows with the amount of bass he was bustin out, I dont think you will....excellent choice on the ppi amp though.......

i have heard his setup, i met him one time, he had 2 10" alpine type x subs driven by a kicker amp, i dont really know how much power he had, but yea i thought my ear drums were going to burst.

You'll get your eyes shaking for sure.

You can't have too much bass :biggrin:

What do you have for the top end, can it keep up?

The problem I see is nobody knows what the alternator can handle...that amp probably draws more amps at full pump than your alternator puts out for the entire car...

well i guess i will find out, so i think i will need a capacitor

from what I found the alt is only about 60amp. Although I ran two 12's and air cond. and didnt have a problem.

basically, my setup wont ever be high volume, just for show it will

Don't have a can of soda in your ride when it hits :bellyroll:

I currently have one BTA10200 tube and I am looking to add another...I was a little concerned myself with Alternator or battery issues...but maybe I am just too cautious.

i wouldnt want to bump around the hood, only at shows, there are trucks galore around my neighborhood, they have better setups im sure and more space to do more than me.

caps are not a solution

And Mikekrainets, the AC has nothing to do with power draw, no impact on your alternator...
