hdrox88 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Depends on what car you have and what the stock alt puts out. Also, what battery is under the hood too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newb Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 idk what my stock alt puts out... maybe like 90 amps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaV6 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I have become rather educated in this topic because I was trying to do the same thing....1500 watts on stock 90 amp? will def. not be to good, probably just kill your car in general lol...if an alt isnt too big of a deal for you, grab one from DC power...but if that is a big deal, tone down the gains some and put some more batts in your trunk and and up front.

newb Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) ok, thank you i thought i would have to upgrade my alt, just trying to get some information from someone that knows a bit more then me, i would rather upgrade my alt then my bat, i can get a 140 amp alt from mechman to fit my car, would this handle 1500 watt rms??? what about 2000 watt rms? if not how big of an alt would i need for 2000 watt rms Edited August 18, 2009 by newb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshead08 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 What amp are you planning on running? I ask because not all 2,000 watt amps are created equal and some will bemore power hungry than others.

LoudBimmer Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 yea, you gonna need another battery to power it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newb Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 well, i think my stock battery is dead, i was looking at kinetic bats and the KHC1800 is the biggest i can put under the hood, do you think a KHC800 by amp + the KHC1800 up front would work??? or should i just get 2x of the KHC1800?? can a stock amp handle the 2 batteries?
