[QUOTE="-unknown-, post: 8461045, member: 668393"] rms x 2 / 13.8 = gauge power / ground in case of a malfunction, drop in voltage, or your fuse doesn't blow your wire won't be damaged. so maybe rms / 13.8 = x and if x is well below your alternator amperage your ok? Idk. When I setup my current system I figured I was ok because the the number I got to determine the gauge / power because was still under my alternator amperage. The only other thing I know to do is find if it says recommended alternator, like on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers and add those up. [/QUOTE]
