Do I Have Enough Juice?
Merry Christmas All!
Under my tree this morning I found all the goodies to replace my Bose system , new head unit, amps, speakers, subs---the works!
Adding it all up, it looks like it's going to draw a max 195 Amps, and I believe the stock alternator on my C6 427 only puts out 150.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

The fuse rating for the amps is based on individual maximum instantaneous draw. The continuous draw will be much lower, especially if you're using good quality amps with on board capacitance in their power supplies. If your amps don't have great power supply circuits on their own, you can always add a capacitor to the system later if you see voltage dropping with the music.
