just put in a alpine pdx-1000.1 putting 1000 watts on it rms still no issues 
not sure why you were seeing that drastic of a power loss
oh and to stay on topic, the box looks good although show style is not really my thing, should look boss once its done |
True. Well every car is different. So maybe I have a weak alternator or something.
And to think about it, my faulty waterpump was on the car at the time so maybe it had something to do with it. meaning I believe it was creating an extra drag on the motor as it was being faulty (it was dragging when turning not turning freely). So maybe extra load of slamming the system slowed the motor more and was killing power output from alt.
I am going to be doing a new system at 1000 or more RMS I am in designing stages myself. but mine is different since I got to figure power for amp and compressors and also work in air setup with my system and I CANNOT lose the rear seats. so Mine will take some nice design.
Simmons you should be fine with 1000w RMS, but I would personally add second Battery over alternator.

P.S. Just to let you know I'm currently running 2 12" Sony Xplodes at 1000 watts and 750ish rms. I think its just a little over kill lol.

is the 1000 Watts peak power.
I never pay attention to peak power. it really means nothing. RMS means every thing
Also depending how you look at it 1000 Watts RMS is not overkill lol
