I visited the High Ouput Alternators website and enter my information. Their little calculator said I need a 220amp alternator!
All I have is a Brutus 1500D and a second battery. Nothing more.
They have a 200amp alternator that fits my car. That is what I'll probably look into, because I don't use my amplifier's full potential on a regular basis, so 220amps isn't really needed.
I've read posts on this forum where people get advise that 1200wrms on a factory alt is just fine. And many similar to that. Others with a sub amp of similar power, AND a 4channel amp.
Why are they telling me I need a 200amp alt?
I mean, I can kinda see why. My amp has a max current draw of 120amps + my car's electronics. My car supposedly has a 90amp alt. So I can see upgrading, but damm, 200amps?
Let me know what yall think.
Thanx
