    Default help would be greatly appreciated..haha

    okay so in my lil 1991 honda civic hatchback, ive put in some type s's replacing the stock ones and -for the moment- , along with an alpine head unit in the front.
    im thinking about 2 12inch alpine subs dual voice coil along with a generic box to go with each.
    so my question is...
    could someone point me in the direction of what kind of amp id need to push all of this? and yes, im getting an alternator to add juice to my small battery haha.
    thanks!

    i have an alpine 650 watt amp to push my 2 10" type Rs

    and you dont necessarily need a new alternator, just get a optima red or yellow top battery

    hope this helps

    Usually, if you use a good wiring kit you shouldn't need an upgraded battery or a higher amp alternator. If you use cheap small gauge wire and a crappy ground...you will have issues. The flip side of that is if you hook up multiple amps that need a ton of power going to them....of course you'd need to upgrade your electrical system. But for the average system...shouldn't be neccessary. If you need help and live in the Marietta area...I'd be glad to help you.
