[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5864767, member: 601690"] Let's do some math here kids. No dammit, I said MATH, not meth. Put down the pipe. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] So let's assume your alt can make all 135A at all times (but it really can't). Let's also assume that doing that will not harm the alt (it will). Let's also assume that your stock electronics are not drawing any amperage themselves (they are). 135A x 14.4V = 1944W x 80% (amp efficiency) = about 1500W Now that is about the max that alt can make as far as power out of the amp.
