[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7673224, member: 624844"] I will agree that if you allow your system voltage to drop below 12V, you run the risk of damage. As long as you maintain over 12V, regardless of how you do it, it does not matter. Two ways to accomplish this: Capacity of batteries for short amounts of play time at full capacity, requiring a large amount of time for recharging. This type of system is not practical for most people, unless they do a lot of long commutes or idle for a long time. (show vehicles or campers) Other way would be a HO alternator. Music is dynamic. It uses between 20 - 60% of system capacity, to put it into perspective. A test tone Might take 80-100% of system capacity. I guarantee you will not be listening to 6000+ watts RMS for longer than 2-3 minutes at a time if you are driving down the road (windows closed). If you do, you either have balls of steel or have some serious hearing damage worse than my own.

There's no way that average music is going to maintain anything close to 6000+ watts, even for a few seconds at a time. That's the difference between a "burp" on test tones for 30 seconds and music. One might reach 100% capacity, while the other won't even reach 80% and that's only for a second or 2.
