[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8615534, member: 665412"] put it all together, set your amp with a soft clip, and measure the voltage at your amp terminals and see where you're at. if its dropping check for drop on the wire by checking voltage at the front by the batt/alt and see if theres a difference when its loaded. you wont get 300a out of that alternator, you just wont. but it still might be enough, large case AD244's are known for making great power even stock. id bet you get ~120a at idle HOT depending on idle rpm, pulley, etc. 200a max when cold and at higher rpms. still not bad for less than 200 tl;dr make good connections and try it, go from there.
