How will the alternator/charging system hold up to this?
See car in sig.
I plan on upgrading here soon and am in the process of working out the details. Will my charging system be taxed with a Kicker 800.4 and Kicker 600.1 both running? How much less shock to the system would just running the Kicker 800.4? This may sway me from putting a sub in the car or not.
