[QUOTE="SounDrive, post: 8450579, member: 653833"] No need to replace the wire for a 1200w amp. Also he does have a 145-160a alternator, but those vehicles have a large electrical draw due to the electric fans and what not. My recommendations: Throw an AGM (preferably virgin lead) under the hood and think about a small HO alt. I wouldn't usually recommend one for 1200w, but .5 is a different story. That's more like having 2500-3kW wired to 1 ohm. You will not get a decent AGM battery for $100 new. A used battery kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting an upgraded battery. [/QUOTE]
