That amp aint doing 2400w //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif. What battery is in the rear? You dont need a bigger alt for your big 3

Just cause you do the big 3 isnt gonna make magic happen. But no just cause you do the big 3 doesnt mean you need a bigger alt

I'm saying if i do the big 3 on the stock alternator will it be able to power my amp ? or will i need to buy a bigger alternator to keep it running good
