Anonymous | I have 2 15" dub series subs, 1500htc audiobahn amp, and 1 farad cap in a 99 grand prix se. The amp says it puts out 2000 watts rms at 1 ohm and thats the way its wired. it absolutely pounds and my lights dim but not as bad as i thought they would. will i be okay or will i need to upgrade the stock alt. |
