Socky Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 If you want a good stable voltage i would go with maybe 240-300 amps. Plus the bigger you go, will allow you to run more power down the road.

skittlesRgood Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 250amp would be more than enough. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 A 180 amp alternator would be sufficient to run 2500RMS IF you get rid of the Optima Yellow Top.. What amp(s) and vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford302Redneck Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd would go biggest I could afford honestly. Better to buy more than needed in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
