Typo? I pray that was a typo i mean 135 watts isn't all that much :)
ha oops meant amps...little different ;)

135amp RMS on my stock 90amp alt.

I know how you feel

I just kinda went thru the same thing... I was running 1500 watts on a stock alternator.. not too good.. my voltage gauge would bottom out on heavy bass passages... prob a good sign I just might have been puling too many amps.. but a new batt and ho alternator later.. good to go!

lol, my rear speakers do more then 135 (total :( ) so my guess is typo....

by MrSo0h0o » Sun May 22, 2005 3:33 pm

probably 1350? if so, he is REALLY lucky.

i have a 50x4 ch amp, components on the front ch's and a HE2 getting about 150RMS and my lights dim veeery slightly.. and this is on like, a 70-75amp alt

You old battery might have just been ready to go out on ya, you're lucky you got a warning!!
ah, there we go.

I have been a little tough on my electrical system. 135watt rms system on a 90amp alt......hmm...

typically an alarm system in the armed state uses less current to operate than the clock in your car.. bit of trivia there.

Ya, with an automotive battery you could maybe leave a bazillion LEDs on, and it shouldn't effect it.

LEDs have barely any drain on an electrical system.

by lotas » Fri May 20, 2005 1:34 pm

right. A big reason I wanted this was to support my alarm and my LED's for my alarm when the car was off. If I left my alarm armed for a day, or armed/unarmed it, when i went to start the car the next time it would take longer than usual (and like the car was straining to start), as the battery was weak.

so im hoping this will help.
