Re: how much can the stock alt can take?
The max current draw is added by the fuses on the amp. If its 2 (30 amp) fuses, then you have a max of 60 amps from that componet. But thats at full power and 100% effeciency.
The stock alt isnt 110amp.
You also got to combine every componet in the car thats pulling currnet at the same time.
