[QUOTE="tobz, post: 436582, member: 550322"] BTW, it's [B][I]your [/I][/B]advice. Thanks for the help with the spelling though. I kind of liked it before, since it was the independent spelling of the word... Ah well. Basically for something like that, just try it out. Even though you may get all of those numbers, you might find results that are a bit different. I think you did a good job researching, but since I do not know if you'll be running heaters, A/C, etc, it's hard to just say, "Yes, upgrade your system." I would say, since leaving the system as is would cost you nothing, simply install the equipment, and keep the volume down at first. Slowly turn it up, if you notice signs of dimmage, or other electrical problems, then you may need to upgrade. Who knows, maybe you won't like having the volume extremely loud all the time, and your [I][B]charging[/B][/I] system could be good enough. Either way, I think you should install the equipment, then upgrade if you need to. I personally would rather save a few hundred on an alternator if I didn't have to purchase it, and I don't believe that someone hear can tell you with 100% certainty whether or not it will work. I will let you know that I run a Hifonics ZX8000 amp which has dual 50amp fuses and I have no dimmage, however I also do not have any drivers on channels 3 and 4 yet. Once there is current draw on those channels, maybe my situation will change. I used to own a Hifonics BX1500D (which I believe had dual 60amp fuses), and when I was running a Digital Designs 9512e series subwoofer, I got some headlight dimmage that could be pretty bad at times, but I didn't notice anything too severe. That's about all I can help you with. Hope that helped. T.J. [/QUOTE]
