Watts = volts * amps

amps = watts / volts

volts = watts / amps

ok i got 250amps but i might need a little more...anyway...does stinger make alts. w/ around that many amps or more? or does anyone know anywhere else?

Try a Dual Battery setup + HO alternator?

thought about it but i think i'd have enough w/ one battery.

[Rico]

with 3 kicker 1000.1 amps?

i beg to differ..

ok so then what one extra battery? thats usually to play music while the engine isnt running but sure
