amp/subs in 97 corolla?

[Dannyboy1277]

I have a 97 corolla and was looking into subs recently. Im currently thinking about putting in a 350w amp to power a 300rms sub. Id really like to put in 2 subs powered by a 500w amp but im not sure if my car could handle it. I plan on upgrading the big three cables but dont want to replace the alternator.

Would my car be able to handle the 500w amp without upgrading the alternator?

Ive got a 550 and 350, with the Stock alternator, you should have no problems

im using this...

with this

with an 8" box.

i get no headlight dimming, no issues at all really, stock battery and 50amp fuse.

i highly recommend both products, for 300watts and 8" woofer, the sound is HUGE

upgrading the stock alternator would be your last resort. If you're looking to go towards 1000+ rms watts for your sub, I'd put in a kinetik or shuriken high capacity 2nd battery and also do the Big 3 electrical upgrade. I put in 4ga wiring for the Big 3, put in 2ga power wiring, a battery isolator and a kinetik hc1400 as a 2nd battery to help minimize dimming of my lights as I have an Audiopipe 1500 rms at 1ohm powering a 12" Hifonics Olympus 1612 1600 rms sub in a 3cf box!
