Will depend on what topology of amp you use.

Usually about 20-25% of that will run your car. so that leaves 82.5 amps. also You dont wanna push it to hard so maybe 75 amps. which gives you 1080 watts you could be push.

Although it's not really correct to assume 100% amp efficiency, I don't think you'll have a problem with a kilowatt or a little more.

Just don't try to run 2kW+ on it and you'll be fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Or a big class A/B sub amp. Or run whatever you want and just be judicious with the volume knob.

I've got 400-500w a/b and 700-800w class D with a 110A alt. Stock electronics on the high demand side as well. Turbocharged, dual electric radiator fans, fog lights, pwr windows seats brakes etc. Using a 5-6 year old wal-mart battery.

Only wiring upgrade is 8 ga from alt to batt.

Slight dimming at idle w/high-full volume.
