ok im gonna play dumb here.....there is a debate at work righ now about how much power our demo vehicle is gonna need.....the basics....02 suburban

the amps....1 dx1500.1 and either 2 or 3 dx80.4

three system batteries and one for the vehicle with scosche's isolator


it has been rumored by some that the stock alt will be enough..........hahahahahaha HA! no need to even touch on this

i forget the name of the company maybe ohio generator or something that are making alternators that have switches that mount on the firewall that let you choose how many batteries teh alt. is powering and the voltage up to 16v i think that you want......extremely pricy stuff.....


i look at motor city's site yesterday and emailed nate at excessive and got retail pricing that is about half what our COST is on the other company....


the question..........how many amps does an alternator need to put out in this case?

oh i almost forgot............if a train leaves tokyo at 3:12 pm and i fart in my bathroom at that exact same moment how will the momentum of the train be effected by the intesity of my gastrointestinal system?

depends on what your doing daily driving im guessing? show car? competitions if so what classes? i would say a 200 - 250 would be fine.

In response to the second question, think of Spiderman 2 when he stopped the train..then look at his costume and his face afterwards..that is how I imagine that train and its passengers will look after you rectal squish occurs.

What is the Ohm load on the sub amp(s)

THat will be the deciding factor IMHO. I wouldnt fret to much on the other amps. I bet if you put them three other amps together on a mid bass to HP area they may draw 30 amps max...
