    Default Amps

    Ok well I have 3 1000w Sony xplode subs and only 1 4channel 300w amp and I'm certain that's not enough to run all 3 properly
    Need advice on what would be good to run all 3 and should I maybe install a better altinator or second Batery in car?

    You will not need a larger alternator or another battery, what are the model numbers of your subwoofers and how much do you have to spend on a new amplifier?

    What RMS rating are the subs? Single or Dual voice coil? 2ohm or 4ohm.

    If you do not know the information. What is the model number?

    Provide some information if you would like help

    Cheers

    The OptionAudio OAK1200 amp does 1200rms (rated) at 1ohm and 700rms at 2 ohm, It will run these subs nicely. Wire all your subs in parallel and you will get a 1.3333333333 ohm load.

    Wire the subs like this:


    You can buy the option audio amp for around $350, they will be advertised at $400.

    You will also probably need at least 4 gauge wire from your battery to the amps.
