Hello,
I am worried that my alternator (110A) may not be able to maintain battery voltage with the subwoofer I ordered. My battery voltage fluctuates between 13.0-13.6v. It drops to closer to 13.0v when the AC/Headlights are on at idle and when I am cruising it usually hovers at 13.3v. Vehicle is a 4cyl 2010 Mazda 6.
1. I plan on drawing ~1000-1100w RMS. Could I get away with that?
2. Is the alternator regulated somehow and will work harder to compensate with the load of the subwoofer? I am worried about voltage drop as I listen to a lot of music with long bass notes. I plan on turning the amp up until I hit ~12.8v or see really bad dimming.
3. Also should I be worried about dips in voltage (11.Xv) that are too fast for the meter to pick up that could potentially damage my cars electronics?
