my civic has a stock alty in it, anyone know how much rms it would take before it get damaged or burns out ? i have stock battery and big 3 is not done. not sure how many amps the alty is, around 70 prob.

Around what continuous rms range do guys start to think about it?

crx's around that year have a 60 amp in em stock //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif lol

so 60 amps x 14.4 volts = 864 watts, but when you factor in effeciency ( 75% ) you get 648 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

should i be safe with a hifonics tx1005d that puts out 700 rms at 2 ohms? i think thats a bit overrated too.

You'll be fine with that amp.

Should be fine with that amp.

There's not really an actual number you can put on it, it all depends on the type of amp and efficiency...
