Lets see now -- ohms law says that at 1500w at 13v needs something like 115 amps of DC current assuming that the system is 100% effecient, which it is not. So if we assume 80% effeciency then we get something like 144 amps of current required to power your audio system. So you need something between 115 to 144 amps of current. You must need a seperate high current alternator to power this thing.

Woweee Zoweee. Are your ear drums still inact?

Sweet!!

I'm pretty sure I heard this car cranked up all the way from Denver!! (For those of you not familiar with Rocky Mountain geography, Breckenridge is about 70 miles as the crow flies!)

I'd LOVE to see this thing!! I am building my own MUCH more modest sub setup for a 400E. Let me know if you're ever coming "down the hill"!

Mike
