[QUOTE][Alright, lets say that for whatever reason the amplifiers decided to pull 100 amperes. And he's got a 100amp fuse at the battery, to coincide with what the amplifier specifications suggest. What happens to his 85 ampere alternator? Anything, or does the lack of necessary current just mean the the amplifier won't get the power it needs and his sound goes for a dump, and his lights go dim.

The battery would supply power as soon as the voltage dropped below 12.5. The amp would have a slight decrease in output, and the lights would dim slightly. It would not be the end of the world (or your car)
