Recommended Posts

Posted

soo im pretty sure i have a 130 amp alt stock in my car. i was wondering with everything off (as in ac, lights, etc)and car is idling what usually does just the car running use in amps? i have an aq1200 coming in and i was just doing some searching and some math and found out if this is correct 1200 watts/14 volts= aproximately 85 amps. all i have is a walmart battery in the front i know ill prolly need one in the back but was seeing how big i would need. and i wanted to see how bad of voltage drop id have with it running stock. i have the big 3 done in 0 gauge. thanks guys

Get a moderate XS Power battery up front and you'll be fine.

Well, I will tell you I ran 1200w on stock. I had a 120A alt, walmart battery and stock wiring. So in all honesty unless your vehicle demolishes electricity, you should be fine for the time being.
