Power Question


Recommended Posts

Right now I have an Optima Yellow Top Battery (http://www.darvex.com/8014-045/Optima+Yellow+Top+CCA+870+Amps+Battery.html) under the hood of my car (just got it installed today) and an 80amp alternator (stock). I have the big 3 done. This all powers a 300rms amp. I was wondering if the battery and alternator would be able to handle a 1000rms amp (Alpine MRP-M1000).

Thanks Greg

Now feel free to go crawl back under that rock and leave this to the professionals....

Of course!

My camry has stock battery stock 80-90 amp alternator no big 3 and it's able to power 1200 watt rms system + components.

Don't your lights dim at all?

Mine dimmed a lot until I installed a new battery and now it doesn't flinch at all.

you will have a little light dim but watch your voltage.

your lights will dim from a small voltage drop like 14.4 to 14 volts.

so don't worry about the lights dimming unless it bugs you.

as long as your voltage doesn't drop more than a volt and a half when your bass hits you will be fine.

for example if you have 14.5 with no load and then 13 volts when your system hits then you should think about upgrading.

when my system hits i only see a max voltage drop of .2 volts.

i have a optima up front, big 3 and a stock 130 amp alt running about 1600 watts rms daily.

O alright. I was planning on taking out the 300rms system and adding a 1000rms system but I'm not 100% sure if it would be alright though. lol

Hmm.

My lights do dim a little :(

Most of the time my voltage is above 12.5 to 13.7 or so but when I play a song like White Girls (Slowed) and one of my bass mechnanic songs that has crazy lows, my voltage goes down to like 11.4 and that's why i'm upgrading my electrical right now

I'm hoping that after I do the big 3 and getting a new battery that everything will be fine

general rule is 1000 watts equals 100 amps
