[QUOTE="c_hayhurst, post: 6519335, member: 555043"] I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra with a stock alternator, which puts out 50-60 amps of power. I also have a run of 1/0 power wire that can be hooked from the engine battery to a Stinger 300A trunk battery (battery not in the car right now). 1/0 wire is then run from the trunk battery to the sub amp. I currently have a BXi2008D, which is rated at 1200Wx1 at 2 Ohms, to power two DC-9 equivalent 12" subs which can each handle 800W RMS. How many watts/amps can I run on the stereo before I need to upgrade to a HO alt? I am looking for 2000W to power my entire stereo, subs and cabin speakers combined. I would do this in my daily driver, running high volume 10-15 minutes at a time while on the freeway [/QUOTE]
