Stock Electrical MAX Power?

[suprman602 10+ year member]

Okay everyone, so what can most cars with stock electrical setups push for a RMS Max? I've heard most stocks will push up to 1000rms. I have a 91' olds cutlass supreme. Can anyone anwser this question? Also, I'd like to know other cars as well.

Note: I am currently running a Power Acoustik A1800DB class d amplifier at 1 ohm rated 1400x1. What am I really pushing with my car?

Some can, my TBird did ok with 1200watts. Depends on alty size really. Now on my tiny alty I do no more than 800watts.

It just depends on the alt.

First find out what size alty u have...

Most people like to go by the every 100watts is in general 10amps of draw, dont live by that though. Just a general...

watts = amps x voltage

Get you alternator tested at a local autozone. multiply that by the apx. voltage of you car when playing music loudly. the subtract about 200w (not sure on that one) for the cars own power usage. You should get a ballpark figure.

I used to run a Hifonics Brutus 1206D with the usually dimming, nothing serious off a stock 105amp and 4awg wire going to the Hifonics (no Big 3 either)
