[QUOTE="Slayer16102, post: 8797620, member: 676644"] Yeah, that's where my issue comes in, man I only have a 110 amp alternator to power the entire car. Due to the valeo voltage regulator on my car, there really is no alternator upgrades possible without the car throwing up a charging fault with a custom alternator installed. I have tried to upgrade it before with a mechman alternator and it threw up all kinds of codes so I went back to OEM. My 5 channel must stay within the 110 amp voltage constraints when considering overall power consumption. Someone suggested a Kenwood 8005M 5 channel for $400. The car is going to the shop tomorrow to have this amp installed unless someone can suggest something better while being close to the price listed above. That amp should give each sub 250 watts at 2 ohms. I am mainly making sure the amp 8005M they suggested is what I should be using or if I should wait and get something better. I don't want to drop $400 on the amp, $125 on a new 8 gauge wiring kit, and $350 on a 5 channel amp install if this isn't the right amp for my setup. Tax and all this new install puts me out the door at $1,150.00 tomorrow so I need to make absolutely sure this is the best setup for my car given all of my components listed above. [ATTACH type="full" alt="40150"]40150[/ATTACH] Is $350 typically the going rate for a 5 channel amp install or is that way too much to connect all of the the subs and speakers to a single amp? That seems pretty high to me, but I don't have time to do the install myself as I work 6 days a week. [/QUOTE]
