like the average person would even need that.

 

Anyone with atleast a handful of IQ points has there car already running before testing this kind of thing...

 

ooo 800W ~ 80amps o.0
i did not know that

see the problem is that before when (i had 1 farad cap + 600Wsub amp + 200Wspeaker amp) my alt died after about a year of my stereo being installed.
if i didnt run the cap i dont know if same problem would have happened or not but that is why i was thinking of a new alt.

you guys think its safe to run 800W stereo with 130amps alt without a cap?
i get around 13.7V at idle

 

I am running 1600 watts with a 110 amp alt and no problems yet.

 

I have near 2,000 w rms, but probably only run it around 1500, with 140 amp alt. I haven't blown my 100 amp main fuse yet, but i got a spare just in case.

 

but how long are you guys running ur alternators with thouse setups? month?6? year?

good idea tho ima check my alt fuse see what it is rated at just for my knowledge

 

I have been running 1000 watts rms off the every same alternator that you have for 5 years, just last fall I have replaced the brushes since they were getting low.

In my other car yet the same alternator as yours again that has been boosted from 130A -200A installed it and popped the regulator in the first month, only because I was cheap and did not upgrade to the HD regulator. Replaced that and it's been happy with 4000 watts rms and two yellow tops for two years now.

 

HD Regulator?

 

heavy duty.......mine is a hd regulator as well and I have been abusing it for over a yr now ...no problems.
Did the big three and my lights don't even dim.

 

Think maybe it was just time for the alt to die??
