Help!!!
I took the back seats out of my 1988 IROC. I want to put 2 12 inch Kicker L7's and an amp in. I have dynamat in it all around. I just wanna know if i'll need to do anything else for it, such as another battery port or something. Thanksfor the help again guys!

RE: Help!!!
That will depend on amp size if you get a really big amp i suggest a upgrade alt ,extra battery , And a cap. Thiis will ensure you dont do what i have done in the passed. I was jamming at a light and i cut it up and it cut the car off. That was in my 89 rs

RE: Help!!!
L7s.. those are some power hungry subs, they'll handle a easy 1500 watts. meaning you'll need a AMP to RMS 1200+.
that being said, depending on the make of the amp, it'll run between 100 and 150 amps,
your stock alt puts out 115-125, and thats what the car alone uses.
you'll now need a easy 200 amps, best to go 250amps.
buy a HO alt, gonna run you 300-400 bucks.

RE: Help!!!
dont listen to ninetysixyenko he obviously doesnt know about electical, the subs arent what drain your power its the amp, no camaro runs 115 amps stock espcialy since most camaros only have a 105 amp alt 
, kicker l7s are cannot i mean CANNOT run on 1500rms they WILL BLOW ((((0)))) ive run them to the max with just one 501s (dont underestimate fosgate), first upgrade the big 3 google it for more info, spend about $100 on ebay for a hc600 kinetik battery and you will never need a cap in your life, run the battery with its own ground for best results, i believe that year has a 105 alternator so should be more than fine, get at least 4guage wire for your amp and if you have an extra $20 get some 0 gauge(ebay has 25ft of stinger 0 gauge for about $50), get a 150-250 anl fuse as for your box you have a great car for car audio a CAMARO!!!! use the freakin glass it willl give you GREAT results, as for your amp i recommend what i almost always recommend a bd1000.1 old school fosgate at 1 ohm should put out about 1500 (mine was tested at 1736 i luv fosgate) so make sure you get the 4 ohm versions, i very much like the l7s bd1000 at 1 ohm wil push them to the max. This will make your system HIT ****IN HARD nd i mean hard i will be very jelouse of your system. And if done correctly your lights wont even dim. I have more than this and mine dont dim for squat. O nd if you dont already have a good deck get one that has about 4v preouts.
