How much power is needed???
WIll i need to do modifications to the power system of the car if i add a 4 channel amp that makes about 30 or 40watts x 4 (kenwood) and another amp for two 12inch subs (MTX) in a sealed enclosure? The subwoofer amp will probably be a kenwood 2 channel amp bridged into one channel and puts out 460watts bridged, and 800watts max
Is this going to be too much of a power drain on the car?

Well what year is the car. Cuz when I had my '91 Bonnie all I had was a 1 farad cap, 4 channel Kenwood and the MTX 150x2 powering my 3 tens, and that would drain my battery like crazy when the bass hit. Ended up going through 3 alternators cuz of that system.
