[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5652910, member: 540940"] I can't believe people's love for over-priced batteries. Sometimes I wonder if charging system basics are even considered. The fact of the matter is - whether or not your charging system can adequately power your soundsystem revolves COMPLETELY around the alternator. If the alt is not strong enough to power the amps and charge the battery using a $50 wal-mart battery it will be just as incapable of charging a $500 Kinetic. Those old MTX's are under-rated if anything so you're looking at around 1800w rms. You're looking at around 200A max test tone current draw, or 66A max music current draw. I think a '93 camry has an 80A alt. If I were guessing I'd say that alt will struggle with 1800w. I ran 1100w with a 75A alt for a while and it wasn't pretty. It looks like there are some options on ebay for a 130A alt. That would solve your problems. That along with a good healthy battery and you would be good to go. [/QUOTE]
