[QUOTE="jrdnhsnbrg, post: 8190939, member: 643734"] Just because it has a stock 200a alt doesn't mean it can supply much more power to a sound system than say a 140a alt. New vehicles these days come with much bigger alternators than they did 15 years ago, let alone 30 years ago. My grandpa was telling me about alternators in cars when he got his first car, it was a 30a alt and that was big for vehicles at the time. New vehicles need these big alternators for higher power equipment and more equipment in general, such as HID headlights, all the monitoring systems that come with them these days, and all the computers needed just to make the car run. tldr- a 200a alt doesn't mean more power available.
