Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 00:37 GMT i checked how many amps my stock alt is and to my surprise its 120 amps. Thats kinda big for a small car right? well how many watts do you guys think i'll be safe running on this alt if i do the big three with 1/0 GA wire and get a second battery?

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 00:54 GMT Get by? None. The alt in your car is less forgiving than a large case and is designed to power all your functions only. You might think your getting by, but in reality your alt will be scheduled for an early, and untimely death. You need approx. 70a per 1000w you plan to add to your car, regardless of what someone will say, or has said.
