[QUOTE="ny96j30, post: 435177, member: 551278"] Can someone point me to some guidelines, or articles to read about charging system upgrades? Here's my alternator output: @1500rpm - 23 amps @2500 - 63 @5000 - 87 1500 rpm is a little above cold idle, 800 is idle - I assume ~ 15 amps at idle. Im going to run between 600-750W RMS (100-125x2 to comps, and 400-500 to sub). Amps = watts x volts...so if I'm running at 12 volts, I need 62.5 amps free for the system...and at 14 volts I'd need 53 volts - this is to reach the cieling. Question is do I need a higher output alternator, or will I be okay. [/QUOTE]
