[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8655862, member: 576029"] Depends on your use of the volume knob. :) But seriously, it does. Adding a volt meter to the dash would allow you to monitor voltage and you will get to figure out how much of an issue it is. Usually, it is typical to install first then assess the need. Certainly, the stock alt would struggle if you achieved the actual power output (clamped) that you desire. But if you end up being happy when the actual output of the amp(s) is around 500W then maybe you're fine. We won't know what volume level will appease you. Certainly start looking at possible alternator upgrades and make sure the battery you have is healthy. [/QUOTE]
