Ok so here's my question. i've got my system all picked out , but people keep telling my 750 watts is to little for the 12" brahma. Now i've looked at adire's site and from what i see 750 should be fine to power the brahma. The sub is going to be in a 1 cu/ft sealed box. The sub will be wired in series to get a 4Ohm load. Also while i' here asking. My car has a 95 amp alternator, now i'll have 950 watts in all. So should i look at upgrading my alt?

As you know, both Dan Wiggins (the designer of the Brahma) and Steven Kephart have both responded to your last thread. They may not notice this thread title, so maybe PM one of them for the 750 watt question.

The alternator is running the car with maybe 35 amps to spare. With both of those amps you are going to set up with the 4ohm load, I would look at getting a 160 amp replacement alt. And upgrade the wires, too.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
