[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8862848, member: 689267"] I completely agree with Some Dude. I run 3 amplifiers on a system that after evaluating the average current draw, did not need the 250A upgrade. I run a AudioControl ACM 4.300, a Focal FDP 4.600 and a DS18 Hooligan 3K, a DM810, a 2nd battery, a 40AH AGM and a 10 farad stinger hybrid cap (because I had it laying around) and even when showcasing it for the few times a year that someone wants to see what it can do rarely hit above a 60 amp draw. Regular daily driving, 15 to 25 with 40 amp peaks if that. for most people this is a good video that explains what to expect. [MEDIA=youtube]M8RisjTngt8[/MEDIA] Are there times in the summer when I have the AC and everything going, sure, but it's momentary and again, 95% of the time, the momentary extra out put inmost cases would best addressed by additional storage capacity (Li-on if you can afford it - also costly but easier to accomplish) as opposed to the expensive proposition of putting in and upgraded alternator.
