[QUOTE="stockgp, post: 5627780, member: 574239"] i need to know if a 200 amp alt will be enough to power everything i'll be running. head unit will be a clarion hxd10. up front, nothing big. probably an aura mr675h 6 channel and 3 was active components. for sub duty i'll have an elemental designs spv.2. however, it's currently being reconed by woofercooker for dual 1 ohm coils. power to the sub will come from an american bass vfl 150.1. this is where i'm iffy. i'll be running the amp at .5 ohm load. i also want to get an external voltage regulator for my alt to run at 16v. i'll be doing the big three in 4/0 welding cable, as well as my power and ground wire. i already got a quote from mechman alts for a 200 amp and external regulator. he told me it's not wise to go higher than that since my motor (olds 307) is v belt driven. so, is 200 amps going to be enough?
