vetkilr01 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 2011 Malibu 2.4l: 140 amp stock alternator Stock front batt, group 27 I believe...4 Marine deep cell batteries group 31's similiar to DEKA's (each weighs around 60lbs) Currently running a CT Sounds 7000.1 and a Soundstream Stealth stl 4.500 Big Three has been done Have 2 runs of 1/0 OFC wire to back. One run to each dual bank of Batteries. The battery Banks are connected to gether with mutiple runs of 1/0 OFC From the dual banks there are three runs of 1/0 OFC to the 7000.1 and a 4 gauge run of OFC to the SS amp. Car running resting voltage runs between 13.8 and 14.5 depending on what the hell the car wants to do Lowest voltage I have seen so far wide open is 12.5ish...Havent been that high again on amp yet, spider glue failed on one of my Wardens, this has been fixed, but breaking them in more before going all out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHMAN Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 You can run almost any amount of wattage on a stock alternator is the battery bank is big enough... Niel Barber, Tommy Mckinnie, etc... usually don't even run their vehicle when they are playing 40,000+ Watts RMS. The other thing to consider is what kind of vehicle it is. A Honda Civic might have a 65 amp alternator that charges at 13.8 volts, whereas a new Escalade will come stock with a 165 amp alternator that charges in the 14 volt range. Obviously the stock alternator on the Escalade will support over double the power that the Civic will in stock form, so you can't just lump all "stock alternators" into the same category. The primary difference is the amount of time you can play at high volume levels before voltage drop becomes a problem. Having a high output alternator mainly reduces the amount of battery capacity you have to have, and increases the amount of time you can play the system at high volume before voltage drop becomes a problem. If you don't want to change out the alternator, you can always add more batteries to the bank, and charge the batteries when the vehicle is not in use to help make life easier on the stock alternator. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
