This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Vehicles like that will usually have an upgraded alternator, either that or be constantly dealing with a flat battery.
1kw at 12v is 85 amps, that's well over half the capacity of a typical car alternator.
Having installed a number of systems, I think you are overestimating the care owners have for their alternator.
I've met a few that are firmly in the second camp, and are unable to comprehend that they are using more power than their alternator can produce.
There's something about the doof doof audio crowd...
