[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 6728536, member: 573988"] Correction: That is a 100% efficiency system. And you are assuming that the only thing the amp can draw power from is the alt. Why do you think adding an extra battery helps his voltage drops? I run an amp that has put out a full 1500 watts. Stock alt is 95 amp. Being that It delivered a full 1500 watts It had to draw > 104.16 amps. Thats a little more than 95 especially when coupled with the 20 some amps the car uses when on. and The other mid amp and HU. Does everything die? no Because the battery supplies the extra current needed for a limited time. This works because an amp that reaches that kind of output won't be reaching it all the time. Giving the battery time to recharge. It depends on the "amp hours" the battery can supply and how easily the battery can be re-charged (whether its old or not.) A 100 amp hour battery can deliver 100 amps for an hour, 200 amps for 30 minutes, 400 amps for 15 minutes. and so on. Of course, the higher the discharge the lower the efficiency. [/QUOTE]
