[QUOTE="akillj, post: 8300895, member: 644272"] You're closer to like 1.5kw of real power. No way in hell you're actually pushing 3.6kw. You should be fine with the 150A model. 150*14.4=2160w. This doesn't mean you can run up to 2k, because no amplifier is 100% efficient, but it should be just fine. Personally i'd get the bigger one, just cause I know i'd be safe for possible future upgrades. EDIT: To OP and anyone else reading: More batteries, which will stabilize your voltage, Isn't necessarily a replacement for another / bigger alternator. (Unless you like to listen to music with the car off) You can wang on the batteries all you want, but they still need to be recharged. Multiple batts + multiple kilowats of power = wreak hell on a stock alt. [/QUOTE]
