[QUOTE="PaulD, post: 4672146, member: 589636"] I think you guys are looking at your heavily modded electrical systems, required for the huge bass systems the vehicle is housing, and missing the big picture. The reason why I don't need 300A alts and mega batteries even though the systems amps are capable of nearly 4000 watts RMS is the type of music I listen to. SQ music, even at high volumes, use much less average power. The additional power is for headroom, the crest factor of a CD can be around 30 dB, that's a power factor of 1000. EDIT: In the design of the vehicle from the factory, the alternator is designed to have enough power to run all the accessories when the car is on. The battery is actually just another load on the alt that must be recharged after starting the vehicle. The battery was NEVER designed as a secondary power source for running the vehicle. [/QUOTE]
