your alternator won't last long, good thing you have those 2 batteries.

12.5 volts isnt bad for your amp but on the other hand this will make your alt work like crazy. the lower your voltage drop the harder the alt will work to try and keep it at 14v. your alt will work itself to death thats the bad part

Where does your voltage sit at without the system playing?

Its a strain.. It will work but over the long haul ytour alt will go bad... You need to get it rebuilt or get a bigger one.....

after you're blasting it for a while pop the hood and grab the alternator. you may want to have your nearest burn unit on speed dial.

Heat kills -- your alt's on borrowed time.
