Subwoofer

So anyone know the largest amp to apply to a sub in an f22? Maybe max watts and if a capacitor is required. What is the safest to to run?

Thanx in advance

Are you talking about the stock under-seat subwoofers?

Are you adding aftermarket subs in a dedicated trunk enclosure?

Basically the same answer either way for the capacitor... No, you don't need a cap.

Sorry. No adding a full sub/ amp and a box in trunk. I have a self powered one but its only 600 watts. I was looking at a 12” and probably a 1200 or a little higher amp.
Will the alternator or factory battery have any issue?

Thanx guys

This is my setup. I went with 2 Sundown 10's wired at 2 ohms in a sealed enclosure powered by a 2000-watt Sundown amp.

I've had this setup for probably 2 years and have experienced no problems at all with the stock electrical or alternator. My car still has the original battery and it's a 2017.
