Hello I have a VERY simple question:

What is the most wattage you can get while safely keeping the voltage at 14v on the stock alternator and battery?

I noted 14volts because usually if you go under this, it's clipping the sub or sending dirty power to the sub and going to damage it.

I want to make a system based on the stock capabilities, because honestly, forget adding a $300 battery and $300-$600 alternator.

I am leaning towards a lower wattage, high cone area build. Perhaps 4 10's in a sealed box (some clarion 10's I had need .5 sealed. that's 2 cubes sealed for 4 10's. Talk about saving space!)

Any input appreciated and feel free to ask questions relating to anything in here.

You are safe running 2,000 peak and a steady 1,000-1,200+ rms on the stock electrical. But you have to at least do the big 3 upgrade which is just lower gauge wiring at battery ground to chassis, chassis to engine block, and alt to battery positive. Make sure you have a good battery. A HO alt isn't needed until 1,500+ rms and never run two batteries on stock alt.

If your voltage is unstable after this you have to grab a HO alt.
