1995 camry alternator?

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

Does anybody know what kind of alternator comes stock in a 1995 toyota camry? and also how many amps can be expected to be drawn from an 800 watt RMS amp at a 4 ohm load...I am just looking for an approximation

Let's see first I hve no idea the size of your alternator. But it should have a sticker on it that says. If nothing else give your local autoparts store a call and ask the size of the oem replacement.

Next question there are alot of variables involved in this. So I can only offer you an guestimation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Lets see we know the wattage ( 800w ) and we know the voltage of your electrical system. We will use 13v for an average just so we have something to work with. Both of these change dynamicly with the music but we can use these numbers to offer a guess using ohm's law. I=P/E or Current equals Power in watts divided by Electromotive force in volts. So you have 800w divided by our 13v average gives us 61.5 amp. At 800w of output a perfect amp ( 100% efficient ) would draw 61.5 amps of current. But you have to account for the efficiency of your amp in the equation. That's why I say this is only a guestimation. I hope helped a little //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if u have a 4 cylinder camry, you most likely have a 70 amp alt, some models, have an 80 amp....if you have the 6 cylinder then you have an 80...

hope this helps...

alright thanks guys...that helps, I think I'll be alright for now since i probably won't be running the 800W all the time anyways. thanks

No sir. Your amp will probably only put out that kind of power 1/4 of the time. You should be fine with your stock electrical system. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This means I will need a 231amp alternator?

3000watts/13volts=230.76923
