Enough power?

David Washington Silver Member Username: Blindc1rca Post Number: 117 Registered: Aug-04	Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2004 - 22:36 GMT I just got a new battery for my 2000 VW Golf Diesel. My alternator is 120 amps, and on the battery it said "800 amps 32 degrees, 700 amps cold start, 120 amps extra storage". I have no power options in my car. Do you think this is enough to power just 400 watts RMS into 1 15" and a 50x4 deck without dimming effects?
