[QUOTE="Patrick18, post: 59774, member: 544531"] My car has a 80A alternator and a expected output of around 1200w. I have already have a poineer head unit and and two boston acoustic component speakers and a diamond audio amp powering them. I plan two put in a 360w Lighting audio amp to power my two 10s. Im afraid my alt will not be able to handle this. I dont want to put alot of strain on my car but really want some lower end sound. Ive heard differnt things about caps and have considered getting one. Somone people tell me they release all the strain on your alternator. What should I do to make sure my alt doesnt die all the time? Is it possible that I could get a bigger alt? If so how much would that cost, or would I be fine just getting a cap or two and a bigger batterie. Thnx [/QUOTE]
