BatCap Powaaah!

[Why So Cereal? 5,000+ posts]

I have a scion tc with stock 100a alternator.

have not done big 3....YET!

with a batcap model 800 in trunk beside amps.

zero gauge wiring.

I was just curious how many watts rms would be safe to run for a daily driver?

already have 600 rms to my highs.

how much do I have to spare for my subs? SAFELY!!!

i have run daily on a 110 amp with an extra yellow top, i know not the same but just to give you a general idea, with 1100 watts and only had minimal dimming and voltage drop

I was running about 1500 at one time total before the batcap and did pretty good.

i was wondering if i could do any thing big on my subs with that batcap

Should be able to get up to 1000 watts. You got to remember you 4 channel isn't pulling that much power

Reason I ask is I was planning on running a kicker zx1500.1 or Rockford t2000 iin addition to my Boston 600w 4channel

No good??

your car should be fine for a daily driver

What model boston amp are you running exactly? You want to look at the RMS specs. 600 watts is peak power, you want to look at how much RMS you're pushing per channel. If its 75 RMS, then you're only running 300 rms with the one amp. On 100 amps, you can get an idea of how much power you can run by multiplying the 100 amps by your charging voltage. If its 14.4 volts, then you have 1440 rms available, if its 13.8 volts, 1380 rms and so on. Now, your vehicle uses some of your alt's amperage for its own needs, so I'd say after doing the big 3, you could run a clean 1,000 rms total. Adding good batteries to the charging systems will help maintain/stabalize voltage, but if your amperge draw from your amps exceeds what the alternator can charge, the batteries will not be seeing a charge and will evenly drain down. So, add as many batteries as you like, but you'll still need the alternator to send adaquete charge. As you can see, the charging voltage you run at is important to how much available you have. This is why the big 3 is so important. It doesn't give you any more power, it simply helps you to keep your voltage as high possible. Higher the voltage, the more power you have available.

Its 600 rms at 2 ohms stereo. I'm using abt 450 2 ohms front 4 ohms rear.

I plan on a bigger alotta eventually jus tryna see if ill be fine for now
