kirill007 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 If the alternator can't supply enough current to keep your voltage above 12.8V-13V. I hope you have a good strong stock alternator for 2000W. What alternator do you have, how much current does it produce? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

littlebuck1919 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 well, an amp with that for a power rating helps and a good electrical, they higher ur voltage can stay, they better, most people cant seen to get away with running 2krms daily without an upgraded alt/battery, and big 3, id recommend both im a little overkill on my alt and battery i think, but oh well lol.
