Heroes are remembered, but legends never die
So i was reading about 2k rms - 3k rms systems. and seen this statement:
""""""Ok, so to produce 3000 watts of constant power you will need 96 amps of current availible extra from your alternator. Lets assume you have a large v-8 car or suv with a 130 amp alternator. Just to run your car and your "amp" you would need a 240 amp alternator"""""""
I dont run 3k rms, but i did run about 24 - 2500rms. The amp was a Sundown saz 2000d. And i did it on 4ga wire & ground, 8ga speaker wire, 1batt underhood, and stock alt. . I have a voltage meter and it never drops below 14v. well the lowest it got was like 13.5v while competing.
So i dont understand the statement abouve
