[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7383939, member: 549629"] Yes, music is transient. That is why I generally only comment on these types of threads when there is a pretty clear cut answer, which again I believe my math above shows there is here. If you have to rely on impedance rise to keep your stereo from pulling more current than your charging system can sustain, you are riding the fine line between a working stereo, and a smoking one. Clipping. If the amp clips, it can certainly draw more current than it is rated for. And its already rated to draw more current than the charging system is rated to supply. By itself. Not including the rest of the stereo, or all the electricals in the car that the alt was sized to handle by the manufacturer. Adding a second batt will not change this, it will merely prolong the problem. I think the OP creating this thread to describe his smoking stereo component is proof enough that I am correct here.
