How many AMPS
How many Amps can our cars sufficiently power before the need for a better alternator or what not, and of what power could these amps be?

I have an 800 by 2 and a 140 by 2 with no cap and my lights barely flicker when the radio is turned up as far as it can reasonbly go without too much distortion

The stock alternator is only made for how the car is stock. The more draw you put on your battery the more strain it is going to be on your alternator. But you also got to take in mind on how you listen to your music. If you dont have the bass going no stop and loud, yes the alternator will last longer. But if you do the opposite you are going to get the opposite effect.
