Thanks for reading my thread. I am currently using 3 amps and I don't have any power problem with original battery and alternator. (i.e. big 3 is on my car as the original design.)
I have a concern about my alternator and battery if I continue to replace or add amps in.
1. I have seen some high current battery specially for car audio in the market. If I just replace the battery but not the alternator, what would happen?
2. Consider I have to replace the alternator and the battery together, how should I choose them? Should I match up the current that the alternator can handle?
3. Someone told my if I replace the high current alternator, I should be aware of the guage (the big 3) on the cables. I can see the original cables now are about guage 8 or somewhere thicker. Please suggest.
4. I have been told it will be even worst if I just simply add the caps in because it requires even more power from the battery, alternator as the well as lower guage no. cabling. Please suggest.
Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks for your time to help me.
