90 amp alternators can handle up to about 700 watts, even more if its a D class

You'd be fine with 3 or 4 of those amps.

Stock elec. systems have been known to supply 1500-2000 rms systems in many cases. Personally I'm running 1000rms w/a 75 amp alt and have no problems.

is this true? cuz my friends have burned up their alts. one 600rms sony amp burned an alot in a talon and then another kid had 2 sony 760 amps in a tbird and burned that alt.

just wondering? cuz i wish i could get another amp like this one w/out burning up my alt

It really depends on your electrical system, and what shape it is in, and what kind of wiring was used. Crutchfield says 500W for a 90 amp alternator, you can buy HO (High Output alternators) for less than 200, or get them rewound. I ran a 400W D CLASS amp (that took no power from the alt) but thats because it was a D Class, those are more efficient than A/B amps

well everything under the hood is in great shape. alternator is like new. i asked my dad bout getting it rewound and he said that would cost more than getting a new one. (how farmers think) where would i go to get my alt rewound?
