[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1337450, member: 561023"] I don't think we are, actually. I think we're all trying to go to the same place we're just using different avenues to get there.I agree 100% Yep Okay - I see what you're saying. The part I've enboldened is subjective. I have seen setups that ran 600 class a/b watts into their front stage/rear fill then ran 600 class d watts into a single sub. In that example I'd have to disagree with you. The considerably more efficient Class D will likely be less of a current hog than the other. At any rate there ARE people that ride around with their systems cranked wide open constantly. It's these irresponsible users that give the rest of the aftermarket mobile audio fans a bad name as a whole. If you have X amount of current available and you put Y amount of draw on that available current....if the recharge mechanism (read: the alternator) cannot at least match the demands placed upon it additional storage capacity will merely delay the inevitable. Eventually the system's reserves will get depleted and alternator failure will likely ensue. Gotta go with jntar on this one... HO Alternator > 2nd Battery [/QUOTE]
