200 amp alt enough for 5k temporarily?


Recommended Posts

I have a 10k build starting but I'm a lil short on cash rt now so my alt bracket and 370amp secondary alt has to wait about 2 mos... Biggest I can fit without code issues ( I guess) is a 200 amp in the factory location. Was thinking about running 2 of the 4-15's  sub up on one 4.5k rt now. Is a 200 amp enough with say... 2 group 31's in the back and a d6500 up front?

I have a 200amp stock police interceptor in my 2005 crown vic lx sport. My system right now is 3000 watts rms and stock interstate heavy duty battery. I have 1/0 on big 4 and a  NVX XCAP10H true 10 farad cap. System is holding up just ok but can use alittle more juice. You have the extra batteries but your alternator will suffer for sure.

Dibo just turn the amp gain down or wire at a high impedance. That way you dont use the whole 5kw. And watch voltage. Then you’ll be fine.

Exact alternator they're trying to sell me... Us starter and alternator brand and bracket. 370 hairpin in secondary location so wasn't to worried about stock location. Apparently the police alt is pretty beefy for a 200 amp

I bet Singer could get you more amps than 200.  He got me 240A in my sonic in the stock case.  Check out @xpoppadaddyx 's build log, I think he fit a good sized alt in his Nissan.
