[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6728550, member: 619324"] Thanks for the lesson pal. I don't think he or I needed it as we're well aware of how the charging system works. When you corrected his lack of showing efficiency, that would have actually only reinforced his point. Drawing the power for 5000 watts vs 1500-2000 are different animals. If you're running a 5000 watt amp, you're not playing music at full power. You only play tones at full power. 5000 watts burped might last for one burp here or there, but it won't last much longer than that on 2 batteries. Also, your amp doesn't do full power at 12v most likely. The efficiency really drops going from 14.4 to 12v. It's incredibly hard on the alternator. To you guys who do it and recommend it, you're only making noobs that much more uneducated. It might work for you for now, but soon you'll need a tow and a new alt. Have fun with that mr. knowitall.
