my current alternator in my 1.2 sxi is pushing out 40A i believe. I have two amps that i am about to wire in. And the bigger of the amps says it recomends a 75A alternator. Does this mean my car cant run the amp, or will it just sound shiat. Do u recomend buyin a bigger battery and uprating to a 1.7sxi DIESEL alternator, cause i think they push out 70A, which is a bit nearer.. wats the general vibe, any help ppl...?
