I'm going to be running 2 4ohm solo x 12s at 1ohm on a memphis 16-MCD4K. I'm gona need a new alt for this and need some opinions. Is a 220 amp alt gona keep enough power built up to run my amp. I'v been running 1 solox 12 at 4ohms with a Lanzar VCT-2260 3950 watt amp. With a max output of 3950watts comming from such a cheap amp its probably about 900 watts rms. I have a Tsunami 5 farad cap running to the amp and it still dims my lights. So with a Memphis 4000 watt amp and 2 solox 12s is a 220 amp alt gona fix this problem or do I need more than just the alt or a bigger alt.
