Hi all, I'm wondering how much power the stock battery and alternator can handle?
I'm getting a 1000w sound system professionally installed into my car (so I shouldn't have to worry about crappy wiring etc), but I'm wondering if I still have to worry about the lights dimming, etc etc etc? how much power are YOU pulling off your stock alt and batt? (and I've checked these guys out, and some of the installs theve done, and they ARE professionals; no problem there) |

Good question...I'd like to know the answer as well.
I'm thinking that I'm going to have to change the alternator bushes, upgrade to a GT battery and get a CAP, at the very minimum. Another possibility, is buying a new battery to just run the sound system off and running it in-line with the standard battery and installing it in the trunk.
