[QUOTE="Jstoltzy, post: 8713486, member: 680700"] Hello there, I am currently running a Skar ZVXv2 12 on an RP-2000 in my 2010 Honda Accord Coupe. This is not my first system I’ve run but I’ve been running into an electrical issue, primarily voltage drops. I’m currently running a stock alternator (which I believe is 135 a for my car), 1/0 gauge wiring for amplifier as well as big three. I also have an XS Power XP750 deep cycle battery. My amplifier is pushing approximately 1700 watts. On particularly bass heavy songs, I hit some voltage drops that dims my headlights pretty heavily. I’ve tested the battery while playing music with the car running, and my voltage usually rests at 14v, and doesn’t usually drop below 12.8v. My question essentially is, will this much power hurt my alternator? And are there any easier solutions than switching to a High Output Alternator? I don’t have a lot of extra money to throw into this build currently so am trying to keep cost to a minimum without damaging my electrical system. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
