should work fine.. underpowering them the jl 1000/1 would have worked better... but i know its pretty pricy

that would have been hard on his alternator. I think the 500 draws like 50 amps and the 1000 draws a 100 amps all max of course and never reached but still

i know the 1000.1 would have been a better choice but for the little time im going to spend driving this car i think it will be fine.
