[QUOTE="Team TH (Donny), post: 7463783, member: 630942"] ^ This ^ I forgot to mention that the amp I was running at the time can run 10-18v. My electrical ran at 11.5v when music was playing. Running just 1krms will be a lot different because in a previous system I had in same truck as mentioned I clamped 1200 Wrms and never dropped below 12.2v. The alt will be stressed over time, though I think you will be ok to get by with extra battery and big 3 until you save up the cash for a HO alt. The less you drop in V the more power you'll put out anyway. I know how money can be tight, so I'd do what I described. When I had my firebird I had big 3, an extra Kinetik 2400, and a 180 amp alt and never dropped below 14.3v pushing 2krms. [/QUOTE]
