also, what you mean by class A amp? what class is mine? i have Alpine MRV-T707 and later on i will get a new V12 430.
sorry if i asked too much
what amp do you have?
the alternator powers every elecrtical thing in your car when your car is turned on. when it is off, everything is powered by battery. the alternator recharges by the belts while the engine is running, so the fast they are spinning (higher revs) the better off it is, the slower it is spinning (idle) the more it struggles.
debating on weather to get an alternator upgrade or cap will depend on the budget and how far you want to go with the system.
