Can the battery of a saxo handle a 600 watt rms monoblock amplifier, 170 watt rms amplifier and line driver which uses a 12 v input. Without putting strain on the battery.

if it does, wat should i do u guys, dont want my battery cutting out.

i already answered this for you, no it wont is the answer, the standard battery is poor. And im not sure what you mean by not putting srain, any thing on the battery will place extra strain (load) on the battery.

The battery wont cut out, the amps will clip or turn off if the power gets to low, if wont do the battery much good though

no you dont need an new alternater but if you run all that from the standard battery you will! the alternater is what charges the battery as you drive but if you got more power going out then is going in to the battery youll fook the alternator coz itll be doing overtime get a yellowtop and stick it in your boot solely for the system

you wont need a new alternator it is capable of charging the sys tem no problem.

You would be better with a red top optima battery it is designed to be used as an engine starter as well as an ice battery,

ALternatively go down to halfords and get a calcium battery its a bit better, and again as i said uprate your under bonnet cables.

After taht look at getting a second battery and split charge system
