I have an MTX 6304 4 channel amp and plan on getting a JBL bp1200.1 amp. Will I be running into problems if I crank it up to the max? I know the stock alternator is 70 amps. Can it handle these two amps?

Well you'll most definately need to upgrade your alt-battery wire and ground wire to 4 guage...even then though, if you have it really cranked for moderate periods of time it can drain out your battery..so be careful..

The reason for me getting a JBL bp1200.1 is that I plan on getting an Adire Audio Brahma 12" sub. A lot of people have this amp/sub setup. Since the JBL will be putting a big strain on my electrical system, I'll have to step down to a smaller amp. Say 600-900 watts. Can you recommend me some good mono amps that put out 600-900 watts either at 1 ohm or 4 ohm?

Well use the JBL amp..just don't crank it to it's full potential and you should be allright...

hell, crank it whenever you want, thats what its there for! Thats what your paying $650+ for!

I think what mowhawk is trying to say ( [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] ) is that you shouldn't go on a 5 hour road trip and blast it the whole way. A real quick way to drain your battery.........

Or just play it safe and invest in a High Output Alternator. I have the same 4 channel and wanted an MTX 6500D, but I thought that would be too much of a strain on my system. I'm happy with components and 6x9's.

ive hooked it up on several occasions for a 1 ohm load. the car loves it. Ive just never taken a 5 hour trip bumping the whole way at 1200 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
