Hey guys, first time poster, long time reader. I'm getting to start my system in my avalanche and wanted to know what you guys thought, good, bad, suggestions, comments. 4 - Kicker 07CVR10-4 10" Dual 4 ohm 800 watts wired together in 2 ohm. Kicker 06zx1500.1 1500 watt RMS Class D mono to power the subs Kicker 05KS652 6.5" Components for the fronts Kicker 05KS65 6.5" 2-way for the rear doors Kicker 06ZX350.4 350 watts x 4 channels This will all be connected to a CarPC going to a Kicker KX2 2-way crossover to both amps then to speakers. What do you guys think? I'll take any advice. I thought about upgrading to the 2500.1 amp but thought it might be too much. Let me know. Allen

That should sound pretty good. Are you going to be making a box out of the midgate?

Loud, that's for sure. You'll need a HO (high-output) alternator. Your factory one is either 105 or 145amp. Oh, and the Big3. ------------- 2013 Kia Rio -90a alternator

Yes to everyone of you. Along with the stereo, the following will also be done. Big 3 upgrade, Replace stock battery with Optima Red Top, Add a 2nd battery (Optima Yellow Top), and upgrade alternator to probably a 250amp HO. The subbox will replace the midgate. Allen

Sounds good. But, use 2 identical batteries. Within 6months old of each other. Redtops are better for car audio, and less expensive. Otherwise, looks good. ------------- 2013 Kia Rio -90a alternator

Where are you going to be putting that extra battery? I have an Avalanche too as you can see in my signature, an extra battery would help me tonnes for at shows.

Good advice here; you really want to use 2 batteries of the same make and model, and ideally of the same age. This will help minimize the chances of one from being weaker and pulling a charge from the stronger one... Oh, and sounds like your system is gonna slam byt the way
