[QUOTE="caraudiochris, post: 8328086, member: 663604"] the majority of people need almost double power to hear the difference in sound. Double power gains you 3db and 3db is the theoretical rating for double volume. There are other factors though that can change that depending on circumstance. now I looked it up and your car has a 130 amp alternator. Quick math at 12 volts tells me: 130a x 12volts = that at max capacity your car is capable of making 1560 watts of power Now sure you can do that at 130 x 14 and get 1820 watts but lets be more realistic. the other thing is honestly how much does your ECU need to run, and your ignition system, and your A/C, and your radio, and your headlights... blah blah blah. So to answer your original question? I don't know, but why do you really need 2000-3000 watts of power? What is the real reason you ask this question? Do you want more output? Do you want better sound? [/QUOTE]
