This figure does not include the amperage your truck pulls, or the rest of the stereo. Yes its true that figure represents 100% duty cycle, but it still illustrates the difficulty a stock charging system would likely have keeping up. There are other factors to consider, like batt  capacity, listener preference (like how often/long you listen at full blast), but its certainly a possible issue to consider.</p></blockquote><p></p>
