[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 329945, member: 540940"] what amps CAN pull and what they DO pull are very different. Playing test tones your set-up can probably draw - say, 140A or so?? But music dynamics result in current demands that are nowhere near that of a test tone. About a third is the general rule, and that's still assuming full volume - or close to it. At low/moderate volmes it would probably be significantly less than 1/3. Based on your set-up, unless you drive a Ford Festiva or a Subaru Justy, or drive around playing test tones at full volume I would be surprised if your stock electrical system will need any mods.
