The guys go over some basic rules when trying to figure out how much power your car's stock electrical system can handle. They mention that the rule of thumb is your car's factory electrical uses 40-60% of the power your stock alternator produces. Be sure to upgrade all electrical components (Alternator, Battery, Big 3 Upgrade) if you plan on pushing some serious power!
How many Watts do you think is needed to do a hair trick? Answer in comments below!

you guys need to explain your equations, the 1440 watts that you calculated is based on ohms law equation that is P=IxE, where p is power or watts and i is amps and e is volts, therefore amps multiplied by volts equals watts!!!!!!!!!!!!! you also need to consider efficiency of both the amplifier and alternator, and that the alternator puts out these 14.4 volts when its running and not at idle.

@RiddledEnigma93 4 месяца назад

No the 1440 is based on Alt Amp output 100A X Voltage 14.4V = Current output of the Alternators capabilities 1440C, but other things feed off that as well, so u need a amp that is roughly say gonna need 100A like a Kicker CXA1200.1 which uses the power efficiently!~ If you go like bigger 3000W or bigger u will need a AGM Battery like a XS Power D3400 an upgrading ya alt some helps, but 2 much can cause issues with older vehicles!~

@bladeboysfv5646 Год назад

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED before I went and spent too much on getting a sub/amp combo that was too much for me to power right!

@consumerthis3169 3 года назад

Keep it simple- rule of thumb has always been 750 - 1,000 watts you should be good to go stock

@edgaralejo7958 8 месяцев назад

Rms or max watt

@BoobeeMyles 7 месяцев назад

Not true, I remember when I 1st started in car audio, I had an 1,000watt memphis PR amp on 2 kicker L7's, a 140 stock alternator & my lights were dimming when the bass hit, so my rule of thumb is no matter what you're running overdo your electrical. Especially 1,000 worms or more aftermarket alternator & at least 1 beefy supplemental battery or more depending on wattage

@bob-cd1lv 5 лет назад

So, let me get this straight. A 100A alternator is good for around 1440W but a 240A alternator is only good for 2400W..... Your little calculator trick should have pulled out 3456W.. Might want to explain this math on the 240A alternator.

@darrellhernandez521 6 лет назад

The alt does not continue to charge the battery in modern cars while running, really only takes a few seconds to top off a battery that was only just used to start the car. Also the voltage drops considerably when the demand is not there. Modern voltage regulators also keep the cars electrical system from being able to charge many deep cycle batteries that are recommended for car audio, as the required voltage has to exceed the batteries top charge; you will never get the full use of the battery without expensive electrical upgrades.

@bobbysmith8818 Год назад

There is only a set amount of amperage your car needs... therefore if you upgrade and lets say you double your amperage it doesnt mean your car will still consume 50% of that amperage, now it will be 25% of that upgraded value.

for the other side of the fence. I can only do a slight not very impressive hair trick with my two dayton 18s (DSC450-4) in IB with a 500 watt RMS amp (KAC-8105D). in my 2006 acura TSX.

@vbenton11 7 лет назад

I'm confused by their math... In the 1st example, they said if I have a 100 amp alternator with 14.4 volts that means the car can handle 1440 watts but then they said you need at least a 240 amp alternator to run a 2400 watt system. Shouldn't it be ~220 amp alternator if upgrading from a 100 amp factory alternator where 50% is needed for the car itself... assuming we are still considering 14.4 volts?

I have a 2018 Yaris IA with a stock 90 amp alternator. And I'm installing a single 12 inch sub with a 800rms monoblock. Do I need to upgrade my stock alternator?

@UnFallen117 2 года назад

Yes your car is putting out around 900w without considering efficiency and your car is also using 40-60% of your alternators output so you would definitely be underpowered.

@indubitably424 2 года назад

My stock alt is 65 amp. Doing your math and being conservative at say 60% of that alternator would mean my car needs 561 watts to run. Leaving me roughly 375 watts of headroom. Taking this into consideration, I've now upgraded to a 130amp alt. If I subtract that 561 from my available watts on the new alt, I'm left with 1,311 extra watts give or take I can now use. Is this right? Trying to install a class d 1200 watt rms amp this should be adequate then no?

🔴 Does this change with a second bass amp❓ I have a amp per sub.

@jaywalkin8205 4 года назад

no your system required power is still required you could have 500 amps at 1000 watts but not be able to run them because you only have 800w of current available

@Sonic Electronix Hey team sonic or anyone else reading.. I got a 2014 mazda 3 sedan with a 2.5L motor with a 100A stock alternator. I'm planning on running 2 12" kicker CVX woofers @ 2 ohms via Kicker Kx 1600.1 Monoblock. I'm gonna be upgrading my stock battery to an XS Power D5100 and doing the Big 3 with 0 gauge OFC wiring. what are your guys's thoughts on alternators? Do you think I'll need one?

@alek385 7 лет назад

Bouge laal great question. I also want to know. Any feedback yet?

@bassheadray 7 лет назад

Ale Wu no u dont should be fine with an extra battery especially an xs. Ur running a small system should be fine if all the gains are set properly and subs are wired correctly

Does anyone know about a 1997 chevy Silverado 5.7 liter vortex? ...or Could I find the info to calculate Max watt handling on the alternator itself?

@Chimon4ever 5 лет назад

sealed = lame, altima = even lamer.

2400w RMS CT-SOUNDS amp with a single 12" Sound Qubed and could not do a HAIR TRICK

@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340 7 лет назад

codylucente gotta have it in a SUV

@Chimon4ever 5 лет назад

you dont have to have an SUV, you can do hair tricks in any vehicle. you can do hair tricks with a 21 inch death penalty and a 100 watts rms. its about surface area not watts you chowder head

@coydad 5 лет назад

Another question,is there a resonant frequency that is present in all cars that can be teduced by putting audio files into a daw and using eq to filter it out?

@83NCO 6 лет назад

every car is different. rather than EQ the file you could put an EQ on the stereo system.

I only want 1 alternator on my truck [2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.7L hemi] as it will also be a performance vehicle and don't want a shitLOAD of extra stress on the engine. So far I've found a maximum of a 370 amp alternator that's 330 hot. Stock alternator is 136, I think, and an upgraded one that comes on certain pagages{towing and plowing} is 160 amps. So, with all of that in mind, what would you guys estimate to be the maximum total system wattage RMS that I would be able to run?

@Chimon4ever 5 лет назад

700 rms on stock running at 1500RPM's (not idle) but a dodge ram 1500 is no "performance vehicle" its a truck you use to haul your push mower in. you're worried about putting stress on the engine (lol proves my point)
