[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 7186168, member: 541383"] Its a good idea to have 70 amps of alty for every 1000 watts of audio plus have AT LEAST 50 solid amps of alt for the car. I would check your grounding as it sits for your amp. People say 1400 watts is not that big thing is back in the day 700 watts was big and we had cars that didn't have all the epa BS with less electrical demand on 100 amp alts..700 watts at that time would and could be very stressful to a stock electrical system. If you really want to know if your electrical is keeping up check the voltage of your battery in the morning before you start your car. If it is not above 12.5 volts for a stockish battery or above 12.7 volts for an agm your alty is lagging behind. [/QUOTE]
