[QUOTE="huberoy123, post: 8904626, member: 658561"] Personally, I would hold off on the big three, unless I was buying an amplifier that had a huge amperage draw. I have 3 amps ( 520 watts, 480 watts, and 1200 watts) with a total maximum draw of 110 amps. I play my music normally, a little past halfway, and it is loud. My stock alternator puts out 135 amps, and it works fine. Even when I push the volume higher, there is no headlight dimming. You can always upgrade if you experience symptoms of needing to. 1. If your lights start to dim when music is playing, which will be most noticeable during songs with more bass. 2. If you’re noticing corrosion building up around your battery’s connection. 3. If your car has power windows that are moving more slowly than usual or any other powered features and accessories that don’t seem to be working correctly. Just my novice opinion. [/QUOTE]
