[QUOTE="RandyJ, post: 1564408, member: 557626"] For those recommending a max sized alternator, you have to think, those amps are rated at MAX amperage draw. How often will an amplifier draw MAX current? I can assure you if you are a normal listener, then it will not be often, and even if it does happen every once in a while, your electrical will be able to compensate for the .085 seconds it is drawing max loads. I would say 200A would be plenty enough. [/QUOTE]
