[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7360501, member: 631331"] My system runs currently off a stock alternator, I have 300 total amps off my fuses from the sub amp and speaker amp. The system stays powered relatively ok, the battery remains charged somehow off a 100amp alternator, I don't even have a full big 3 right now, because my alt is so hard to get at. I know my system is not running as powerful as I could, but I've got to think that not everything works according to the math on it. Because in theory when playing heavy bass like maybe a test tone of 40hz or so for say 30minutes, you would think my battery would start loosing charge and the alternator would be trying its arse off to keep up, however I've done this and don't seem to have a charge to discharge ratio being negative. In theory pounding hard I should be drawing at the very least over 100amps and my alternator shouldn't be able to keep up but somehow it does? I stopped trying to make perfect math of it all since somehow my system works whether it's by starving power to my amps or whatnot I don't even know. I will be getting a HO soon and my yellowtop should arrive sometime next week. I'm going to install the battery and see if I notice an audible difference, then the HO and see if I hear an audible difference. I don't think the audio will change much, but I should have a much better electrical system anyway and no longer be risking hurting my amps/alt. My 2cents [/QUOTE]
