raytard Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 over 1000 id say is where to consider alt or batts it really depends, my buddy got a crown vic interceptor and it came with a 180 amp alt, all he needed was a new batt up front to run 2krms my car needed a batt and alt to get 1500 running it matters case by cass, but somewhere around 1000-2000 watts you should conssider batts and an alt and as for the whole 16v thing, please, dont do it. yes it seems simple, yes you *could* do it, jut dont. its a bad idea, a very very bad idea. Especially if its one of your first systems, or you're like in highschool trying to be the big baller in the parking lot. chicks dont dig dudes with rides that catch fire, or burn out every bulb and relay.

Boon Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hrm I really need to post the post I've been planning about why batteries won't stop your lights dimming... I had a setup at close to 5000wrms on just a single Datasafe HX400 with stock 90A alt 8 runs of 0 gauge might have helped a little I guess Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
