You change the alternator out with a 300 amp alternator. Clamp it again ... What's it going to read ??? If all you need is 64 amps then a 300a alt won't make it take more. On the other hand, if you want to give your amp everything it can take then make sure you can give it everything you got. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current draw (amps) on my stock truck reads (clamped) 64 amps ... Guess what I'm asking (taken from the info I read on this thread) ... if I replaced my 80 amp alternator with a 300 amp alternator ... Then clamped it, would I read close to 300 amps (alternator output) ??? Yes, there is a point im trying to make that is pertaining to THIS thread ...

White Lightning Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you have a 300 amp alternator ... Does it actually put out 300 amps ?? Or is it capable to handle up a 300 amp draw load from the amplifier (s) and still be able to charge batteries safely ???

Karkov Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 ^^ this guy ? wow that's quite the list of people to ask, lol and to think, I was just about to figure out a way that my power runs from rear batteries to amps were like 4" long and remove fusing (just in that spot, still have fusing under hood and in back on power runs to batteries coming from front) but now I might just let it alone for now....haha ? 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

Ty everyone for your help on this Wait, so CJ18 (Cody Johnson / droppinhzcaraudio ) and Mike Singer (Singer Alternators) both said to fuse it for wire max amperage? I just bought a bunch of 125A ANL fuses so I can fuse my four power wire runs on the DC5K amp in the trunk >< Can you confirm with them? Isn't it better to fuse for Amplifier if it's rear batt to Amplifier. The front batt going to rear batt can be fused for wire.
