Kranny Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 This really depends on a few things. first off, how many cca amps is your batt you have in the car now? or how about the power output from your alt? I have a 1998 oldsmobile 88 for my car. it came with a stock 690 cca wet cell batt with a 140 amp alt. i started with a little 200 watt 2 channel amp for my little 150 watt powered woofer. then i stepped up to a 900 watt amp. the 900 watt amp is what really made my power dim at heavy bass hits, but i had it wired at 2 ohms. remember this, the lower your resistance level, the more power your amp will suck to get the output rating of the amp. in my opinion, when i ran my 900 watt amp, it performed great as long as my car was running. if i tried to crank my radio up without the engine on, the batt would die so fast that after 5 minutes, i wouldnt be able to start the engine. > but i upgraded my batt to an xs power s3400 and that puppy cranks some power. i just had that tested today and it puts out 1130 crank amps!!! thats wayyy over what xs rates it. with that batt i can run my behemoth of an amp at 1400 watts for 30 minutes without having the power drop below 12.5v with the engine off. So all in all, i wouldnt go more than like 700 watts rms, or lower than 2 ohms. if you do, then you will draw tons of current and kill your batt fast (trust me, i have soo many times and it sucks to ask random creeps for a jump) hahaa. any questions feel free to ask. CCA/CA ratings + car audio doesnt have any correlation whatsoever. short statement for a long explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
