I have an FD, and im currently building a system and stumbled across a new Pioneer class D amplifier for a pretty good deal. Its 200 watts rms (4ohm) and 400 watts rms (2 ohm). I have a JL Audio 8W7 which is a 3 ohm subwoofer, so I'll probably be getting roughly around 300 watts rms.

I know this sub can handle a LOT more then 300 watts, but I dont wanna strain my alternator and I do not want to have to add a capacitor. My alternator has already been completely rebuilt, and reinstalled by me, and is functioning properly.

Mainly my question is.... Is 300 watts safe for a factory alternator without having to upgrade it?

 

I was pushing 200watts on a S4 alternator for over a year with no problem.

 

uhm, i had about 1500wrms last year, no problem
but get yourself a good battery
i have a optima redtop

 

Yeah, you should be fine as long as you have a decent battery.

 

I recently bought a DieHard Platinum Absored Glass Mat (AGM) dry cell battery and installed 2 new Gold colored Brass cable ends. WIll this be good?
