[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 7625409, member: 628495"] Alright so clamped power you are going to see much less than that. Assuming your vehicle uses ~50A for the factory electrical that leaves you with 220A of alternator to work with. On 14.4v, that is around 3100w of power that alternator can supply without potentially dropping, and since music is never going to make your amps pull 5k, you should be all set. But I agree with eCrack, a volt meter is always a good idea. A $10 volt meter can save hundreds and thousands of dollars of equipment just by being able to see where your system stands [/QUOTE]
