So 460w / 13v (approx) = 35 A for frontal lighting, plus 10 for a/c (don't know if you even have it), plus 10 for engine and such, plus 10 for stereo (a bad, bad boomer) = 65 A. Even if I'm off by a margin of error of 50 percent, a 90 A alternator is all you really need. Dave -- Dave Carpenter Whatever you wish for me, May you have twice as much.
