[QUOTE="Falcons, post: 7396740, member: 630124"] More Clean power is better than less dirty power. Say if I ran 1500 watts rms on a 75 amp alt. That's dirty power or a clipped signal. A clipped signal is distortion which makes the amp work to hard which makes the sub work to hard. That causes them both to get hot and low. However if I run the same set up on a 200 amp alt, I could give the sub more power, let's say 2000 watts rms and it would take it like a champ because the upgraded electrical is picking up the slack for the amp making it work less. Think of the 200 amps and the amplifier as people and the rms the weight. The higher amps the alternator is the less weight the amp has to carry. This is why I figured it was my electrical. [/QUOTE]
