» CMF MemberHi all,
i have lurking on this forum for ages and never posted because i never had the need to as i got most solutions for ere. Anyway onto my problem.
I have a bog standard L plate micra with a lot of electronic stuff. i have got 1 Kenwood Amp which is powering 4 of my 6*9's rated at 500W RMS but am on about 360W RMS (90W*4). The second amp is a Rockford Fosgate 551x which is running 2 12" Rockford Fosgate HX2's rated at about 600W RMS.
Plus got loads of little things Kenwood headunit, DVD player, TFT, Tv tuner etc.
When i am running all this stuff by my dodgy calculations i am taking about a 1100W+ of power which is about 85Amps. I red somewhere that the micra alternator is rated at 55amps or something along them lines.
Would it be best to get a new alternator or a dual battery config. I asked a guy who makes alternators on ebay he quoted me £210 for a bolt on 150Amp alternator.
Any ideas? sorry for the very long history, just my first post on any forum ever except DFI street.
Have attached a pic of my front let me know your feelings and any improvments.
