_paralyzed_ Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) You all are off. It takes 100 amps at 12 volts to make 1200 watts. Amps x volts = watts. And figure on 80% efficiency, so realistically 100 amps at 12 volts makes 960 watts. Edited August 5, 2015 by _paralyzed_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I prefer to err on the more than I need side. My system is going to be around 1100 rms and im planing to have around 200(potential) amps at idle a d3400 underhood and a small batt in the back to support that.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Bigger isn't always better when it comes to Alts. I'd rather have a smaller alt that does more at idle than a bigger alt that does less at idle but more at 2k Rpms.
