[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 3148465, member: 540940"] 117 is a big stock alt, no doubt about that. My old alt was 75A in a car that most owners believe had too small of an alt for just stock electronics. I ran right around 1000 rms in it for 2 years before the alt finally died, and it had 226k on it. I found a 110A in a JY that was basically a drop-in. I'm now running an under-rated 1060w and that alt doesn't miss a beat. Imtfox, a moderator at SD has been running 2000w+ on a 95A saturn alt for years. Of course he doesn't blast it 24/7, but it just goes to show you what can be done. The rms current draw of 1000w of a/b power is only going to be 30-40A, and that's at full volume. Probably closer to 20 at "listening" levels. [/QUOTE]
