[QUOTE="xluben, post: 2159680, member: 568852"] i have a 99 honda accord with a stock alternator and a cheap battery. my voltages seems stable (12v off, 14v idling) but i'm going to be doing the big three with 1/0 in the near future anyways. i belive the stock alternator is 80amps (i looked it up online a while back, but now i can't find it). assuming a good voltage (14v) and a high efficiency, class d amp (90%), ohm's law tells me i can only get about 1000W !!!! does this mean, i can ONLY get a 1000W, unless i upgrade my alternator? or will my battery start giving me current when the alt can't keep up (at a lower voltage)?
