No, an amps output siginal is dependant of many things, but to make this simple I will leave it at this.

An amp only puts out its RMS rating at full volume. If you turn it down just a little it will drastically cut the RMS output (and the amount of current it needs)

You can have a 1600 watt RMS system on a stock alt and as long as you don't draw 1600 watts worth of current you will be fine. But this requires not turning it up (and none of us like that). IMO the best thing to do is upgrade the big 3 and then an alt if you lights dim, or if you want to (just in case)

I can't be a hill billy, Oklahoma is flat.

I can say though that I have one of the greatest hillbilly/redneck names known to man and sheep. my full name is Joseph Robert...you work that one out...LOL It could be worse though, my Father's best friend grew up in Hollis Oklahoma. I was almost named Hollis. Look at my website links and work that one out for yourselves.

life is never a dull moment. BTW, Jonathan, can you still cipher up to 10, just remember to cipher your 1's and naughts...LOL
