#12655, "*got a new system and wanted to check alternator*"
I put in a pioneer 680 mp deck, 2 kicker cvr 10's, a p3001 fosgate amp, and a ma audio 489i amp for my highs. I have a diehard gold battery. I tested my alternator and it reads between 12.8 and 13.5 amps depending on how hard the subs are hitting. Do i need an optioma battery or a high output alternator? Nothing is dimming, but i wanted to make sure i don't screw anything up.
