ANSWER: well legacy stuff is pretty cheap (junky) but these subs don't look like monsters that are going to need a ton of power anyway.
you definitely wont need to upgrade your alternator or battery for this.
Probably wont need a cap either, just run the amp's recommended gauge wire for power and ground and make sure your ground is done right and you'll be fine. if you end up needing a cap you'll know cuz your lights will dim to the beat. you can always add it later.

QUESTION: HEY THANKS FOR THE INFO HELPED ALOT..HERES MY NEW QUESTION IM GOING TO KEEP THE TWO 15INCH EARTHQUAKES WITH THE REBEL AMP..BUT I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT TWO KICKER SQUARE L5 12 INCH SUBS IM GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE CAR TOO...NOW THAT I ADD THE TWO NEW SUBS TO THE OLD TWO WILL I NEED TO STEP UP MY POWER BATTERY/ALTENATOR...AND WILL I NEED THE CAP...PLUS IVE YET TO BUY AN AMP FOR THE 12 INCH L5'S COULD YOU HELP WITH SUM GOOD MID RANGE PRICED AMPS...I WAS THINKING HIFONICS VISONIK PROFILE OF POWER ACCOUSTIC...IF U COULD HELP OUT AGAIN I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT...THANKS ALOT...
AnswerDON'T, REPEAT, ABSOLUTELY DON'T mix these subs together. I GUARANTEE IT WILL SOUND LIKE S#!T
the kicker L5s are MUCH better subs, so use them only. AND DON'T power them with that crumby amp.
hifonics are pretty good (like the BXI series),
visonic is junk (go to walmart or flea markets!)
profile is 1/2 decent but not great.
power acousik, although not great, is a good bang for the buck.
so if you can spend more, get the hifonics but if you're strapped for cash the power acoustik stuff is as good as you can get for the money.
