[QUOTE="ingine53, post: 7017583, member: 615968"] Ok, so according to audioholic, it seems like I can go two routes right now. Since my system obviously needs more power than my alternator can supply, I could get a couple more batteries to increase the overall storage capacity and allow for longer periods of playing music before my total overall power dropped dangerously low. Or, it seems like I can just buy a very powerful alternator and avoid the total draw of my system ever exceeding the power my alternator can put out. I feel like it would be best to just get a very powerful alternator because if I went the battery route, wouldn't it be bad for my current alternator? When the draw from my system constantly exceeds the power of my alternator, it seems like that can't be good for my alternator. Wouldn't buying one very powerful alternator solve all my problems? @ audioholic Thanks for explaining how the charging system works. I understand it a lot better now. But, I still do not know what route to take with my system. I am still a little confused as to why you would invest in a couple more batteries and risk hurting your alternator when you can just buy a very powerful alternator to begin with that will have plenty of power to keep the system charged.
