[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6531482, member: 549629"] Whether or not your alt will be fine depends on more than just the equipment being used. For example, say someone hooks up 10,000 watts worth of amplifiers, but never cranks the volume knob past 10%, or someone with 2500 watts extremely rarely cranks their system. This demonstrates that the user and his/her listening habits contribute to the equation. Also, I have no idea what size alt you currently have, or how much current draw your car accessories will require (or how often you use the AC etc). But assuming its a decent sized alt, since it is a V8, it has potential to be fine. My best advice is simply try it for a while and see what happens. Keep an eye on your voltage gauge. If you have any issues, let us know, we'll help from that point. [/QUOTE]
