The system is an estimated 3200 watts rms with 5 amps and the fuses are 120, 120, 80, 80, and 50 totaling 450 amps. Assuming that the amps have an 80% efficiency use of power and you want to get 100% out of the amps.
The cars stock alternator is 105 amps and it is underpowered for the car to run at 100% it really needs a 120 amps.
What would be the total amount of alternator amps needed for this system to run at 100%.
My guess was 700 amps but I just figured from the fuses and put it together like this
120 amp fuse + 80 amp fuse = 200
Add in the 20% for efficiency and
144+86= 240 get a 250 amp alternator
120 amp fuse + 80 amp fuse = 200
Add in the 20% for efficiency and
144+86= 240 get a 250 amp alternator
105 amps for the car + 50 amp =155
Add in the 20% for efficiency and
126+60=186 get a 200 amp alternator
250 amp alt +250 amp alt +200 amp alt = 700 amps alt power
I know this is not scientific at all that’s why I’m asking this question because I don’t really know how to figure this out.
Oh yeah lets say 14.4 volts
And another thing would (whatever answer you give about the power) that prevent voltage drops?
