Can stock alternator charge and ground cables handle a 130amp alt replacement? I believe my current amperage is 105

I ask because in the Accord and 3 other vehicles i have ran RF Power series amps(original first model) which are known to be power hogs to power; 3 Kicker CVR in my Volvo, 2 1200w subs on my Grand Marquis and finally 1500w 15" sub on the Accord by simply adding a capacitor. I remember them amps used upwards of 14 volts which is way higher than the average top of the line amps, without capacitor my headlights would dim; with capcitor no issues with charging system in the years i owned them. But yes the wiring will handle the extra amps, check for corrosion at the ends of wiring(white or bluish haze) as it causes problems. You can get a cheap 2 farad capacitor for under $40 and installation is as symple as installing it inline with the power/ground cables to the amp and securing it down(i secured both amp and capacitor to sub box). Hope this helps.Originally posted by Tuage View PostNo particular reason, my current alt is going out and i figured since i gotta replace anyway might as well get higher output...i do have a 1200w amp that power 2 12s but have disconnected from battery. As the subs are blown...but i dont necessarily need the extra amps just curious
