How's your electrical system holding up with all that power? I'm thinking about getting the Orion 2500D amp to run an Orion 10" H2.

Well on the stock battery I dropped down to 9V for a burp (battery died in less than a year) I replaced it with a larger battery and now the voltage only drops to about 11.2V.

I haven't upgraded my stock electrical (search on big 3) wires yet and I'm hoping to see some improvement when I do that.

about 350 rms for the subs. Cant pound my kids ears to death.

I have 2 10" G&S Designs subs, a 600W RF amp. the amp is like half way turned up, so I figure I got about 3-350 RMS. My subs only say 250 watts on the box. so that has to be 500 max for both @2 ohms.

usafcushman is on a distinguished road
the 'Vic's system has been yanked out (again), but the pair of KX1200.1s and the pair of S15L7s are going in pretty soon, along with the 8 KX60s and the pair of KX350.4s (among other things...just received $7250 from the USAF...time for my early Christmas presents )

as you can tell, i love Kicker...my biggest setup so far has been four S15L7s (33 cubic foot ported box) in my truck...approximately 5640 watts courtesy of 4 Kicker KX1200.1s...i had a pair of K65.2 components in each door pushed by the KX350.4s, which were rated around 90 x 4, so i reckon that's another 720 watts or so...so i guess that's 6360 watts at any given time...not too shabby...

i had a Red Top under the hood, 4 Yellow Tops in the back, a nice beefy Ohio Generator alternator, and 0/1 ga. Big 3 upgrade...needless to say, i had no power dips ...

wish i could fit all that $hit into the 'Vic...it would probably peel the trunk off the hinges...
