One thing ive learned in car audio is there is no point in going over 600 watts rms on a stock alternater,it really is a waste of money. Some people think the subs are 12oo wrms they must be freaking loud!,well ya they are if you power them properly they will be,but you aint gonna do that with a 12oo watt amp attatched to a stock alternater,big three,cap aint gonna help you here.

Dont even bother passing the 600rms bass amp without an alt upgrade its pointless.
LOLZ!!!!

I've ran 1800 wrms on subs for daily pounding with no cap, no big 3, no alt, not even a battery upgrade, and I've been fine.

IMO about 2000-2500wrms is where you start to really abuse a stock charging system in the average car.

Hell, people used to run stuff like Orion 2100HCCA's without upgraded alts.

YA 92zed34 I think your off abit. There is lots of people running high powered systems on stock alt.

Here is my recommendation. Get a couple of 10's or 12's around 500Wrms each and a nice D class 1000Wrms monoblock and put your subs in a nice well built ported box and rock on out. That will pretty much do what you want. Also goto Selective Sound as he is in your neck of the woods there talk to Davis and go listen to some different subs. If you want something to look at checkout the RE and then even you friends will think your serious.

I'd say get a RE SX 12" in a spec ported box with about 1000w rms and call it a day.

Just get a pair of Perfects. 10's or 12's. You don't need a whole lot of power for them to get loud, and they fit in your price range.
Just my $0.02

Agreed. Also, try the Kicker 05DCVR104 10" CompVR subs. They're nice and loud. Quite affordable too. ($299.99) at onlinecarstereo.com
And u can have each of em run off a mono amp such as the:
Kicker 06ZX400.1 ($183)
or the 381w version (forget what price/model num)
