lol take advice from me on this one more sub and one more amp isnt gonna do much for you if you dont have the electricle system to support it. what do you have now? if your only running one battery under the hood get a 2150 or a nsb90 im gonna reccomend at least 8 runs of power and 8 full ground runs back to the battery of 1/0. in usaci u can run your car so upgrade your alt to a min 200amp and i dont know the batt rules in usaci but add another if you can. with out this i highly doubt your gonna break a 150.

8 power wires?! what do you use the other 7 for?

lol yes more wire = less resistance = MORE POWER!!! lol look at any high end spl vehicle and you will see tons and tons of 1/0 for instance tonigh i amp putting 10 runs of power and 10 runs of ground in my blazer. the jimmy will have approximatly 20+ runs of each also. dont forget you have to run with the car off in dbdrag so every little bit counts
i know guys who see huge gains from adding multiple runs.

http://audioforum.termpro.com/ubb/ultim ... 14948.html check that out. the other runs connect to whats called a buss bar which is basiclly a piece of metal usually copper. then from that to the amp.
