I seriously doubt those amps OR speakers are truly 2000 watta RMS. I would get some 2 or 1/0 gauge power wire and let her rip, see what happens.

watts peak are NOT equal to watts RMS, and no one regulates car stereo manufacturer claims - so they can pretty much claim whatever they want. I am more into sound quality but I am sure some of the other guys on here know more about bass stuff than I do.

Hifonics amps dont reach what they are rated at. On an amp that big it can be off by as much as 250-300 watts. As for the L7's they only have an rms of 750 so whoever told you 2k way overrated them.

Besides you can get better output from a set of RE MT's, Sound SPlinter RL-s, incriminator lethal injection. IMO kicker is way over rated as a brand they arent that great and the solobarics are prone to a crap load of distrotion due to the square cone. More output may be nice but distortion isnt.

What do you want out of a setup and whats your budget.

I don't think he wanted advice on subs and amps, sounds like he's already made up his mind. The post was - "what else do I need ?" I was just pointing out that the amps are overrated and may not need as much power as it might seem at first glance. I would hook everything up as is and see what happens. If the alternator can't handle it, you will have to get a bigger one .... if it doesn't sag too bad then he can keep the OEM alternator.

I think i will keep out of this one. Alot of you guys know how i feel about kicker and other brands.

But a HO alternator deep cycle bat, big three and 1/0 cable.

I guess we all have our brand prejudices (like or dislike)
