tyler, i've thought about buying a meter(its like 600 bucks tho) and just charge 10-20 bucks to meter people to work the money back. but i'd really like to get mine metered as well.

did you order your sub yet? and are you getting copper or alum coils?

yeah, if your going at like 1500 ish rms to it, i'd say with big 3 and a better battery up front you'd be fine

but anything over that i'd add a second battery to the back, and maybe expo alt (130ish Amps i think) vs rangers 90 or 95 whatever mine is.

alum are stronger (cost more) but copper you can still put over 2k rms on it if you know what your doing, first time i put my aq 1200 on it i was like damn i should of went bigger but the sub is finally getting a little looser so it hits pretty good now.

Yea I know a good bit of what I'm doing ahah and for the things I don't know about, I know how to do some research. I am going to be running hopefully about 1700-2k rms.
