True. Make sure you do a build log so we can see your progress too

If you box is big enough, it should have internal bracing.

It doesn't replace the changer. It works in conjunction with it. You can also use this: http://www.logjamelectronics.com/sounsnhond3.html

Seriously you guys. 12 awg is stupid big for comps. 16-18 is plenty for passive comps.

Kicker 1200.

That was already answered.

Cool, but without knowing all of the intricacies of your car.. I doubt the plans for that box will be exactly what you need. Each car is different. There are many different Grand Am's. Keep in mind the resonant frequency will change car to car as well.

You're still not understanding what I said. Read it again. RPM's have nothing to do with it. They deal strictly with voltage output.

3 actually, if you can believe it.

A 300a and a bank of batteries should do you good.

woah.. I'd say overkill, but I know what's in the back. You're gonna have a helluva a time crossing that over.

I buy CD's based upon bands I really like. Otherwise, I'm a dirty pirate.

LOL

ehh... I would call that a toss up. 50/50.

hooray. I think we should celebrate with halo and fine women.

iirc the Havoc can take more power than the Q can, but that might be wrong.

purrrrrfect.

You fail to understand basic electrical draw. If you have an alternator that is supposed to put out 220 amps at full tilt, that doesn't mean that it will put that out all the time. It will only put out that amount when something is drawing that amount. In other words, if your beating around and its a reletively quiet part of a song and all of sudden the song gets loud.. you see a massive voltage drop as the alternators try to spool up all of a sudden to supply the amps with current. Your batteries act as a buffer so that doesn't happen. And when you're running that much power, you need a large battery bank.

You of all people know that you very well could have passed that up.

I like how you're basing your final decision off of "I think". Very brave of you.

What's wrong with the Behr? I've heard of alot of car audio guys using them. So? Just because they're using them doesn't mean they sound good.

No batteries? I was waiting for some of those.

what was so hawt about the AX again?

You can figure this out with some basic math and reasoning skills. Take the car's voltage on a good day, we'll use 14.4v as an example. Now take the rated power output at 2 ohms (2500 watts). Divide the wattage by the voltage. You should get around 173 as your number. Now this assumes that the amp is 100% efficient at that power level. You should assume about 70-80% efficiency on a good day. Figure each one draws around that 173 number though.
