Even with a larger Alt it has to get the power from somewhere. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed (without a nuclear reaction anyway). The electrical energy that your alt puts out is energy taken from the engine. Even with a larger Alternator there would probably be a drop in RPM, maybe not as much but it would still be there.This is not a problem unless it gets so bad that the engine stalls when the bass hits. I've never seen it happen, so don't worry</blockquote>
