MikeX 05-16-2006, 08:44 PM Watts = volts * amps amps = watts / volts volts = watts / amps Y0tA _CaM 05-16-2006, 08:55 PM 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? Rico 05-17-2006, 07:46 PM Try a Dual Battery setup + HO alternator? Y0tA _CaM 05-17-2006, 08:21 PM thought about it but i think i'd have enough w/ one battery. Rico 05-17-2006, 09:05 PM with 3 kicker 1000.1 amps? i beg to differ.. Y0tA _CaM 05-17-2006, 10:08 PM ok so then what one extra battery? thats usually to play music while the engine isnt running but sure | |
