I woke up to my door bell ringing at 4:00 am. Seems some little punks thought it was fun to paint my wife's mini van red. Spent 1 1/2 cleaning it off. Good thing I'm off today. We are the third car vandalized. One guy ended up with a flower pot thru his windshield. On the bright side my jeep was on the street and they didn't touch it.

but that is somewhere around three times the load then what you are going to have with a sub/amp setup. Using a Capacitor? Amps are more of a sudden burst of power then a steady draw.

I have a 180 amp alternator on my F100 and it does fine charging a 900 amp and a 1200 amp battery while powering two compressors and an electric fan and the ignition system

☠ CF Sheriff ☠
All I have to do on my schedule before then is to overhaul my brakes since my driver's side caliper froze up. I think I'm just going to replace everything with the Auto Zone stuff since I'd like to keep it under 200 for parts to include rotors, pads, and calipers. Anyone know of a better place to get the parts?
if you go advance auto you can order online (and pick up in store for free), and you can use a coupon code to get a crapload of money off the parts. I do it all the time.

make sure you get the right size and type though - they used a few different combos (cast or composite)

plenty, if you notice your lights dimming when the bass hits just wire in a capacitor between the amp and the battery.
