do you have the proper charging system for that amount of power?

what is your budget for subs? and you want SPL?

Well i Drive a cadillac sts...the alternator is solid and the battery is very big although i have been thinking of yellow cap
Mmmm budget depending on what im getting ... Mid range for good subs....for both around 5 or 600...you can get almost anythin on a deal nowadays over internet

jordan - with that much power you are going to want a HO alternator...solid alt or not i can guarantee that the alt is not big enough and adding a batt will not help.

NO Limit Soldier- In no way did i mean it the way you took it...i ment as in good condition (alternator) My car is built like a tin can and nothing more than a Fancy named GM

So a new alternator would cure my problems for my subbs cutting out? Why would they smell then?

you def need a HO alt...

the burnt smell could be clipping which is probably happening

yeah a new alternator is your best best. it would be cheaper than buying new subs unless your subs are blown. look into iraggi alternators and dbelectic alts. ohio generators also make good alts. what do you mean by smell? do your subs smell? if so they are probably burnt!

those subs should be able to take it so im guessing gain \ bass boost & other settings maybe set improperly ...

Well i think its just because I want them to go louder than they go. so i play them loud...the gain is at about 4 so its not cranked but i got some bass boost on my screen.
Im wondering if a New alternator like many of you have suggested would be better...
For somthing like that i cant just go into a shop and buy one or what? What is it that im looking for?
N maybe i just need to get new or more subs?

you should set your gains with a dmm and not use bass boost

I got offered a good deal on 4 10's that are 400 watts rms each...would that be able to handle the power from the same amp better so i dont run into the same problems?

why do you want 4 subs? i mean do you want any trunk left at all? if not, why not just go with a BTL 15 or something that would be loud as hell LOL

a BTL is a sub made by Fi.

I have a 15 inch BTL if you are at all interested but I recommend that you get a HO alt before anything because your current subs should be able to handle that amp as long as you set the gains properly
