If your headlight dims with the bass notes, the “BIG 3” might work.  If not an H.O. alternator will be needed, or else be prepared to pour a lot of $$$ for batteries.

This site explains the "BIG 3" upgrades.

Answer 2

you should match your sub or get a little bit less power so as not to blow anything, so go with a 500 watt amp.

or go with a 1000 watt amp so you can add another sub down the road, !!be sure to adjust gain levels though!!
