VERY interesting, thanks for sharing that. I run an EA alt and did the BIG 3 in 1/0 about 3-4 months ago, with no problems so far, but now you have me wondering/worrying.

200a for a 2000 Altima, was as big as he could go. Not worth a crap at idle, but ok once you're moving. Car is a DD with around 2200watts total.

unfortunatly without a mod ur case cant get any bigger which means less at idle ive clamped mine at 150amps at idle. u should be ok as long as your not drawing tons of current for huge amounts of time

I still get pretty bad dimming, so I'm going to throw a Deka Intimidator in the back for the sub amp.
