[QUOTE="KTMrida4life, post: 7582023, member: 637865"] I know that, usually their upwards of 200A. Well I first specified it was a 150A alt and people assumed stock. Its not. Its the highest rated alt I can find for my tiny car.. its a 95 Nissan 240sx. 2.4L. I will do the big 3. I wouldnt mind a second battery, what bothers me is that I just bought this duralast gold battery less than 6 months ago. It still has 2.5 years of warranty on it. To not use it would be stupid. From what I've read, it's not recommended to hook up an AGM battery in my trunk to an acid battery like I have. I guess I'll just do the big 3, hook everything up and pray. Ill keep my volt meter in, and start with the volume way low to see what kind of voltage drops Im getting. I'll set the amp with a DMM to 1500W. If I drop down to say 12.5V, is that OK? At that point, are headlights/interior lights dimming? Ive been told to not go below 12V as thats when you fry things. [/QUOTE]
