what kind of amps are they that makes a huge diffrence? were talking true rms here

i am more picky on my amps than my subs i am pretty loyal to crossfire amps......since day one, they have always been rated [email protected] volts ex.....the vr1000d 's which are the ones i have put out atleast 1,000-1,200 watts each.....i also like Crossfire becuz they are very efficient

yea those are pretty decent amps and it sounds like your electricle system would be fine to me with the dual optimas. and the 120 amp alt.

by the way, one reason that i may now have dimming lights, or anything is cuz i very rarely turn the volume on my head unit past 23-25/ i think 40 and may bass level usually stays on -1/ -3 - +3 thats plenty loud enough for me except when i wanna impress sumone, or when sumone rolls up beside me bumpin loud....that waz oart of the reason i wanted to go a lil overkill on this system......would rather have expensive subs+clean amp working at around 20% than low wattage amp working 90% all the time pushing subs to they're max will last much longer in my oppinion

You have a clouded view on how this all works my friend.

The amplifier works no more or less if its a higher powered or lower powered one...

Efficency falls off when you supply less and less voltage...
