taylor17 Unregistered guest | You should be fine on the alt with just the amp's, but the KC light's use a lot of juice. I don't know a lot about geep alt's but a 200 alt would be fine I think. |

I opted to never got a winch or that light bar, i run a 1000watts rms amp right now without any problem, i've never cranked my system up over much more then half (over that just gives me a headache its that loud) and my light have never blinked or anything lie that, its always given me a steady 13.8 volts to my amp no matter the conditions (unless off) so i'm happy with it, what i'd reccomend you do is on your remote wire to amp, instead of installing it to your headunit wire it to a 12volt sorce (fairly simple, can tell you how i did it) and then that way you can turn your amps on and off as need be, running a system while offroading may not be the hottest idea anyones ever done, just be sure you strap or bolt your stuff down good and you shouyld be fine. if your looking for a new alt though try www.4alterstart.com www.mralternator.com hope that helps |
