[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8823487, member: 587645"] With new battery technology you can support crazy power with little actual upgrades. My jetta has a 90-120a alternator, the markings are too hard to read to confirm which one it actually is. I'm running a smart 5 at 2 ohm, and an audison APF8.9 bit active, 260wx2 for my midbass, 85wx2 for my midrange and 85wx2 for my tweeters. That's a total of roughly 5800w at a soft clip on the substage. The only electrical upgrades I have done is the big 3 in 1/0 gauge, front battery delete, and a new 80ah LTO battery behind the drivers seat. My voltage doesn't drop below 14.3 or so on daily music, and 14.0 at idle with a soft clip. I will never recommend anything but a Lithium battery for car audio purposes anymore. An upgraded alternator is always a good idea, but I'll only be upgrading to a 180a alternator instead of my planned 320a. Matt [/QUOTE]
