Depends on a number of factors- Posted by IrieTom [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Sub, chad, Wed, 7 Jan 2004 07:33:00 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
First, how was the amplifier's power output rating calculated? A sub which produces 520w(RMS) will consume far more power than a sub rated at 520w(peak)- the power rating of the speaker is just an estimate of the power handling capacity of the sub, and has nothing to do with the electrical load on your alternator.
Second, how many other power-hungry electrical devices are running off the electrical system of your car? With a subwoofer of that size, you probably have at least one other amp in the car. Have you upgraded your lighting at all?
You're asking the right question, but there are too many variables involved to get a straight yes/no answer.
