How much power on stock electrical?

[wevie 10+ year member]

2006 Grand Prix.

Will not upgrade alt or add batts. Any wiring is fine. Big Three definitely plus???

Curious to see the recommendations on how large of an amp to buy for a daily?

Specific recommendations? Subs will be chosen and purchased based upon the amplifier.

your running 3 batteries, he want to use one.

Im running a Digital Designs M1c on stock electrical with a 105a alt. the only upgrade ive done is the big 3. Im getting around 1200w and my voltage doesnt go below 13v.

If its the v6 it puts out 125 amps. The v8 pushes 135 amps.

depends on the car/truck really.. some with 125-140amp alts will push 1-2k some won't push 800-1k

some with smaller amps even do the 1-2k with droppage

depends on amp efficiency as well... I would say no more than 1500, at the very max, of class d power...

With stock electrical minus big 3, on my 105a alt and Interstate Mega-tron II battery I can do 900-a little over 1000rms with minimal dropping but minor light dimming at night. But when I upgraded to my SK1500.1 @1ohm which is rated at a little over 1900rms (obviously with this electrical I'm not seeing full rms) lately after some major full tilting I've droppped low enough to drain my battery to about 8v thus shutting the amp off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I need to upgrade haha.

80a stock alt and a batcap 2k equivalent with the big 3 I can push around 1200w or so until I start getting voltage drop (my voltage goes from 14.4 to like 12.5v in the course of 2 or 3 clicks of the volume).

Nah I haven't. And yeah it is kind of a pain, but I've somehow memorized which songs I can turn the headunit up to without getting voltage drop (which is amazing cause my memory isn't too great lol)

125a alt. I'll do the big three in 1/0 plus a run of 1/0 obviously to the amp.

Currently CONSIDERING running an AP15001D @ 2 ohms. That would be 950 watts. I'd hope the stock electrical could handle that. If this is an acceptable plan, I can then decide if I want to upgrade the alt and drop the load to 1 ohm.
