Sheena Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 138 amps is so safe for just 1k watts. you will see no voltage drop. possibly before the big 3 even. but most def after the big 3 you wont see any voltage drop.

wennington99 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 it would be 150 x 2 up front at 4 ohms and the 1000 in the back so 1300 watts total the concern has sprung because forum members here have stated the value of good electrical and so I'm still learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 still 1300 watts will only pull like 100 amps or around there. wont pull less than 80, but wont pull more than 130. you should be absolutely fine with just the big 3 upgraded. you might have to watch it with other accessories turned on, such as lights, A/C, windshield wipers, etc. when your going full tilt you want to watch out for those things. for example, on my 1500 watts i have an 80 amp alt, and a group 51 battery. (about half the size of yours probably) i dip down to 12.8 on most of my songs. so considering you have a 138 amp alt, and more than likely a group 34 batt, i really want to say you should be good to go.
