Hi all, I'm wondering how much power the stock battery and alternator can handle?

I'm getting a 1000w sound system professionally installed into my car (so I shouldn't have to worry about crappy wiring etc), but I'm wondering if I still have to worry about the lights dimming, etc etc etc?

how much power are YOU pulling off your stock alt and batt?

(and I've checked these guys out, and some of the installs theve done, and they ARE professionals; no problem there)

i guess you're not running a cap.

Thats not necessarily going to help. If you have multiple amps going to speakers that will drain it, plus many people have small caps and you can still see the power draining.

600 watts shouldn't be a drain with a cap.
