Look at topic...well, probably about 600 watts with stock alternator on a 97 civic. I found a site that says my stock alt is 75 amps. So that would be 25 amps for the car give or take 5 or so. Is that enough? I do plan on upgrading to a ho alt, but I want to wait a little bit. Thanks for the help.

it will die fairly fast if your cranking the system... i had some size in my car and blew it with a jl 500/1... i have a 130 amp right now and u can see it being affected as well.. it dips a little bit on big hits .. just to give u an idea

Thanks for your response man. I'll probably try it and if lights dim or anything I'll be easier on the volume or turn the amp down some.
