Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2504 Registered: Feb-06 | is that the only amp your running? if you can afford to get the biggest you can find for your car. even if you don't need the extra power now it never hurts. but i would go at least 200a. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2506 Registered: Feb-06 | ho alt. doesn't mean it'll stop all dimming, but yeah you need one. just remember get the biggest you can, do the big 3, and replace the battery if you haven't already. an extra wouldn't. |

Silver Member Username: Cplaya280Quakertown, PA USA Post Number: 337 Registered: Oct-05 | oh alright so would 100amp at idle be alright then cuz its 220Amp and 100 Amp Idle so would this be good for my setup |
