SQPunk Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Greetings all, I am building a new sound system in my 1996 Impala SS. I will be running 700 watts RMS of MacIntosh amplifier power total. My plan is to run one XS Power 3100 battery in the trunk with the amps and would like to know if I will need more than the stock alternator to power the car/sound system. I have a feeling that I am pretty close to the limit on what a stock alt will handle. Thanks in advance, SQPunk Quote
bassrace Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Whats the stock alt? Your prob fine on 700 rms.

matt14 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Should be good on 700. Im thinking your stock alt is at least 100amps.

Paul M Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 The battery should be good enough, and if not just do the Big 3. Quote
