I am thinking about upgrading my sound system. I wanna put two 12inch fi ssd in my car they = out to about 1600rms and was wondering if the stock alternator can handle that .
 


idk yet was going to look into that when i decided whether or not i was going with 1 or 2 subs i figured i would just ask about it ahead of time because im not about to buy a new alternator to run the extra sub
 


sine waves = whistling, crystal wineglasses on fingers, tuning forks

So... Celtic music... and Snoop Dogg
 
First...I'd like to ask what is "RMS Watts"? Why are speakers the only technology that really cultivates this measurement(if you want to call it a measurement...)? If you can answer that...your next question is what Matt asked:

"What are your listening habits?"

If you don't listen to sine waves you'd probably be fine with a "200 watt/rms" amp. Box design can be crucial but if you don't want to deal with that just go with manufacturer recommendations and probably 500watts or so.

Car Audio can get really scientific and out of control real quick. So if you're just starting keep it simple for the time being ;)

SSD Enclosure Recommendations - SSA Car Audio Forum

If you go sealed make sure you choose the "high QTS" option. Otherwise just go with what they're promoting in the thread.
