960 watts (lets say 1000 watts) at say 13 volts (which is abit low, and would normally be higher when the engine is running) means your alternator will need to be able to give somewhere around 75amps..... now, this doesn't mean that you will damage your alternator, it means that with heavy bass the alternator voltage will drop and put a load on the battery..... BUT!!! I don't think you will ever be drawing 75amps from the alternator, and even is you do, it would only be for a fraction of a second.... you shouldn't have killed your alternator.... not unless there was something wrong with it, or it was just plain cheap.... anyone care to confirm this?? lol and STOP confirming my lack of a gf lol

ok to sum this up what should i do to my system like what modifications should i do to my car and audio system to make sure everything is ok i have Kole Audio amp q4-960 2 front speakers totaling 400 watts peak and 2 rear totaling 800 watts peak and a 70 amp alternator as per autozone and a small prostart batter 12 v lol and soon to have a new coil what suggestions do you guys have? and i dont want big sound should i leave it as is? and see what happens after i put the new coil? i do plan to buy a 150 amp alternator this summer talk to me guys im new at this. and i love my tegra i'll smoke any car at turns :-)
