[QUOTE="School bus, post: 6540135, member: 617460"] You're probably right. How would I calculate the wattage then? Isn't it RMS/0.707 to get peak? In any case, after getting some really really stupid remarks in another forum, I am starting to think that I just had a bad alternator. Can happen and that's ok It was just important for me to find out if something I did was wrong. I have two FI BTL 15's fully loaded each running off a Brutus 2600 RMS amplifier. All wires are zero gauge. Everything worked fine until the Alternator just quit. Snoopdan ...thanks for your logic about the batteries..you're absolutely right.. when the alternator quit, I drove home with AC ( both front and back blower on) HID lights on radio on with subs off. When I got home about 20 minutes later the van still even started again, so good thing I had the reserve to make it home. You guys have a good weekend JR [/QUOTE]
