Bronze Member Username: Chada08Post Number: 15 Registered: Jan-05 | Ok so in the near future i'm gettin my first system installed, MTX stuff, 600 watts RMS total. The alternator i have isn't stock, i had it replaced a few months back cause the stock one was dead. I drive a '98 Cavalier, i called the shop who installed it and the guy said it's rated at 105 amps. I know that's a pretty high number... will that be enough to power my system? I'd rather i didn't hafta buy an HO alternator since the one i have now is almost brand new. It's 600 RMS plus about another 50 RMS from my headunits/4 other speakers. Is this somethin i can find out now, or will i just hafta wait till it's all in, crank it up, and see if the head lights dim? Thanks |

I know i'll need 4 gauge wires, i see a bunch on ebay. Will i need an 80 amp fuse, or will a 60 amp one be fine? Also, what is the turn on lead for? thanks |
