[QUOTE="skdooley, post: 7396092, member: 627957"] 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. [/QUOTE]
