[QUOTE="Johnny Drama, post: 1461658, member: 554719"] Most alts have ~40% reserve 115a*.40=46a reserve to find peak amperage draw... W/V=A 1500w/14.4v=104a MAX draw. Just know that your setup will be capable of drawing that much power on certian notes and music, it may not be a long period of time but it is possible. A second battery, or cap can help. An upgraded alt would help the most. Hook everything up, if you get dimming, upgrade. If you dont, no worries. [/QUOTE]
