2018 CX-5 Non-Bose
So I've recently installed 2 12" Skars and a 1200w amp (1200RMS, 1600peak). I am on stock electrical. Everything is running great right now, but I'm sure it's putting stress on the stock electrical. I also plan to add a 4 channel amp and better door speakers in the very near future, and likely 2 more 12's and up the amp to a 3500w rms.
I'm not finding much info online, and search here didn't bring up much. I have read here that doing a mechman HO alternator will throw a check engine light. Not sure if adding in a second battery would over stress the stock 100A alternator? Considering Lithium, but also concerned about more stress on the stock electrical with that. Big 3 upgrade is happening this week.
I'm curious what you guys are doing as far as power? I'm open to suggestions. at 1200W I'm not super concerned, but a lot more concerned for when I jump to 3500w+.
