lol, love the 'Fro pic. Where you get that battery from, cant say ive heard of them before. Would a bigger vauxhall battery be sufficient...? | |

when i put my sub and amp in it kept on draining the original vauxhall battery so i got and Exide Classic battery up front only cost me £30 and now its fine. Doesnt loose charge or anything like that. | |

Will a bigger battery be alrite then? cause its only gettin charged by the same alternaotr so it could still run low, just take longer? | |

1.2 sxi usually has a 55a alternator. Whats the power rating of the bigger amp? | |

my current alternator in my 1.2 sxi is pushing out 40A i believe. I have two amps that i am about to wire in. And the bigger of the amps says it recomends a 75A alternator. Does this mean my car cant run the amp, or will it just sound shiat. Do u recomend buyin a bigger battery and uprating to a 1.7sxi DIESEL alternator, cause i think they push out 70A, which is a bit nearer.. wats the general vibe, any help ppl...? |
