Bass_Head_94 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Will a 240a mechaman s series alternator be enough to power 2000 rms at 1 ohm, with a yellowtop battery under the hood?
Pioneerchuck Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Oh yeah that will be enough for the system with power left over.

Watch the bass Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Oh yeah that will be enough for the system with power left over. You sure? 2 K watt amp can draw 200 amp´s and the rest of the car is happy with 40 amp´s? I would say, sound´s good with the big 3 and if there are still voltagedrop´s add a 2. batt.

Pioneerchuck Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah do the big 3 (kind of thought that was a given). But yeah he will be fine with the 1 battery and the HO alt. Most 2k amps require a 200A inline fuse. If your 2k starts drawing anywhere near 200A constantly then its a very inefficient amp. As for the car. Worst case scenario with everything on in the car, all power windows, mirrors, door locks, heated seats, etc all running at the same time it might might pull 40A of power. But the old saying goes you can never have to good of an electrical set up.
