Wooah :! What Altenator are you running :boggle:. I too am running OVER 1KW of solid power with a 70A alt, 75Ah Varta diesel battery and split charged optima yellow top and it doesnt even touch the car, even when 135+dB test tones are played :boggle: Something must be wrong... | |

I've got a 1Kw tx amplifier in my car, key the mic at full power and it stops the car dead.:o | |

Are you running a 55A or 70A altenator? My 55A JUST coped with running and charging a 65Ah diesel battery upfront, a split charged Optima yellow top in the boot and a load of ICE with a total fused rating of 170A. | |

The Bat in my 1.4 16v Sri is on the way out. I was going to pop down to halfords and pick up a new replacement one, but would i be better getting a bigger battery then the normal one since i have couple of amps running off it?? Would i then need a bigger alternator tho?? |
