[QUOTE="Villeza1, post: 7838547, member: 608393"] Wrong. The battery act like a buffer. Yes, the power the amp uses is battery power but the alt will charge the batts back up. Having a H/O just means having the ability to charge the batts faster. Also, the alt is not going to be fast enough to provide the instant power to the amp that the amp calls for (since music is dynamic), the battery will do that and adding an extra batt will divide the instant amps of power between the 2 batts instead of just 1. This will also result in a smaller voltage drop. If he were to just get a H/O alt, he would have the same amount of voltage drop, but once the load is over with, the voltage will rise back to it's starting point faster. In other words, he really just needs to do the big 3 and add an extra batt near the amp. [/QUOTE]
