Can The alternator handle this?
 

OK I am gonna run two 300 watt amps and a 600 watt amp. So do I absolutly have to change the altornator or get a cap? just wondering.
Thanks for your imput.

300 watt peak?..

what amps..?..

ya those are all peaks so 300 watt jensen amp another 300 watt jensen amp and then a 600 watt kenwood amp probably realistically only pulls rms like 120 on the jensen and 300 on the kenwood

your alternator will laugh at you and ask for more [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. yeah it can take that NO PROBLEM

Thanks mohawk was just curious, thanks for assuring me

I'm going to run 1000 watts outta my system once I install it this week . . . I'm getting a 1 farad cap and probably a deep-cycle battery. Will I need to replace my alternator too?

I'm currently running a Memphis 1000D Amplifier, with no caps, no deep cycle battery... sure my lights, interior lights will dim every time i thump on by, but no altenator/battery problems as of yet. My Amp is currently running 1100watts on 1ohm.... :_please:

sorry for such a late response on the thread, i tend to lack realization of the actual dates these things are posted on, my retailer told me my amplifier "can" draw up to 90amps, I had to buy a breaker! 100amp breaker...[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]:eek:[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

DImming isn;t necessarily a serious problem..anytime you get voltage drop of more than 2 volts..your lights will dim.. not from 13.8- a momentary 11.8 volts is not biggy during hard bass hits..If your running a 1000 watt class D sub amp..and another 2-300 watts of Class A/B Power and love to crank it..you may kill your battery or fry your ECU..It's not likely to happen, But it is a possibility. So the risks are up to you..
