[QUOTE="EpicMango, post: 7623891, member: 639134"] Whoaaa. Does that tell me a rough estimate of the load thats going to be loaded from the alt? Seems kinda low but I put Amplifier Max. Watts: 600 # of Subs (Do not count VC's): 1 Voice Coils per Sub: 2 Resistance of each voice coil in ohms (Ω): 4 Wiring: Parallel Load on amp: 2 ohms (exactly what I want) Current: 17.32 amps The current is where I went o.0 600 watts RMS will only pull 17.32 amps from my alt? That can't be right....is the calculator asuming that Max watts is doulble the RMS rating of the amp? At 14.4v that number seems to be exactly half of what my calculations landed at. I have a 12v amp. THAT CALCULATOR IS NUMERIST!!! Wuutt geeves? [/QUOTE]
