[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 7714302, member: 611804"] either way the big three and a good solid batt will help. im drawing 120amps from my stock 145amp alt and my truck barely notices it even at idle.and this is before the big three with a factory batt. you will be drawing a good 160amps at peaks which you current alt cannot keep up with so the voltage has to come from the batt attached to it. only problem with jut adding batts is when you drain them the alt has to recharge them. which it cannot do while suppling voltage to your amp. but batts have their place they do buffer large voltage draws. and most music isnt really consistent so the alt can recharge the batt during the quieter passages in the music. trick to it is to not rely soley on batts they have to have a good charging foundation as well [/QUOTE]
