I might be able to get away with my stock battery and alt

[Hades2004 10+ year member]

I just got inside from getting 2 video clips of my subs pounding. I only set the volume at 15. It was going for about 15 minutes like that and after I was done, I put the battery charger on my battery to see how much power was left in the battery and it was still full. This is my 1st time putting the charger on it in about 1.5 weeks and between that time and now, I was pounding my music everyday. One day I even I unhooked my speakers and just let my subs go and I put the volume at max and I had it there for about an hour. So do you think I can get away with my stock battery and alt? My battery is 450 amp and my alt is 83 amp.

For right now, but it would be safe in the future to go for a battery and ALT upgrade, because its not good to put that kind of draw on your cars electrical system, and besides you will get alot better performace out of your amp with the upgrades

I would go for a new alt but I couldn't find an alt for a 2003 Dodge Neon. I highest that I found was a 83 amp and thats what I have in it already. But if anyone knows a place I can get an alt for a 2003 Dodge Neon besides ebay, can someone please tell me. I'll be getting a yellow top battery for it as soon as I get the money.

I had my car on when I did this.
