I have an 06. A 1600 watt amp and 2 12" subs. I saw some posts on here about it being too much on the battery and alternator. I have a Pioneer double din headunit too, if that makes a difference. But was wondering if it was too much on my alternator?
What Size of amp are you running that makes it heat up that much? and do you have a capacitor? and for Tay Tay have you checked out if your car heats up with your 1600 watt amp? Our cars have a pretty big alternator, if you have a decent size battery to take all the recharging we should be fine. If you keep the lights off in the car and keep the dash dim down try and reserve as much power as possible and you should be fine but let me know how hot your car is getting because I am most likely going to get a 1600 watt amp aswell.
what about light diming?

My dash (stereo and AC buttons) has heated up ever since I got my 06 G6 GT. That's with stock everything.
hey guys i need some serious help picking out an amp for my 15" alpine type R, it calls for 750 RMS and i am on a very tight tight budget. i have found a few and am worried.

theres that one it says it puts out 900 watt RMS at 2 ohms which would be perfect and it has 3 30 amp fuses so its not lieing about the 900 watt rms,
I also found a used kenwood 9104D but i was told kenwoods have problems like crazy about pulln way to much power wreckin ur alternator and blowing subs, over heating etc. and the kenwood is double the price

ha true sorry man, my budget is 150 dollars total so like after shipping and border fees, i know its pretty low but im a poor 17 year old with a nice first car lol.How tight is your budget? The first one seems pretty good. Hard to recommend you other amps without a budget

the W1 isnt any better than your type r so i would just keep it.
with your tight budget you best bets for an amp are likely one in the link you had. Or something like these:
Power Acoustik CPT1 1500
Kenwood KAC 8104D
Power-Acoustik CPT1 2000
If you'd be willing to spend $150 before taxes and all that stuff, i would recommend this amp. Hifonics HFi1000D. IMO its worth the extra $$ over the other ones i have given links for. It will be a better quality amp aswell.
If you want a different sub, i would just wait a bit and buy a JL 12W3 when you can afford it. My buddy has one and it pounds plus sounds amazing.

forgot to respond about those subs. i personally wouldnt go for them. At least not without hearing them first. I was reading some forums about them, and there seem to be some negative opinions on them. mostly about the quality not being so good and them not lasting long.
BTW. all of those amps i posted would work with your type r. i wouldnt have posted them if they wouldnt
