04 tib, yeha I'm trying to find what the stock alternator puts out

blah looks like 80 amps..


why would it work fine for a month? then all of a sudden when my car sat for a week without being used it stopped working


what type of battery is in it?

ya i found 75 amps but either way its not enough to run the power you need. it maybe already be damaged and not charging your battery anymore. it can be a number of problems but your system requires a battery/alternator/wiring upgrade anyways.

math proves them wrong. amps=watts divided by volts. in your car 1500 watts divided 12 volts=125. so you need 125 amps to keep up with your power drain.

i gotta go for a couple hours. if you find any leads like that just check em out and if it works it works. you don't have to buy anything special if you can find something that works like a santa fe alternator.

you can post in http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=136 for more help while im gone

the batteries from june of 08

1 amp is (b)1200watts(/b) the other is 4x90


Prolly 600watts RMS but still that combined with the 4x90 is too much for your stock system.

Get a voltmeter and test both alternator and battery...easy as pie.

/e

I ran 2500~ rms off of a stock charging system. You just gotta take care of it. Not always blasting it, not always playing it with the car not started.
