Whoa.
My 944 has the stock stereo and my home system is at most 35 watts per channel and is all vacuum tubes.
What's my problem? Heh heh heh.

A little mathematics here.
Considering a perfect world equation and 100% amp efficiency.
In order for an amp to develop 24000 watts at 12.6v, it would have to draw 1904 amperes of current.
Lets start the car, and assume our alternator can put out 14.4v now.
1666 amps....
I'm guessing that's a class D amp, which could be up to 80% efficient. So....
At 12.6v it would require 1942 amps of current.
And at 14.4 it would require 1699 amps...
Ohm's law, P=I*E. P = Power/wattage, I = Current, E = voltage.
So for figuring the current flow potential: P/E=I(24k/12.6v=1904).
We won't even go into the thermal dynamics of where that in-efficient power consumption has to go

hey dan, life's been a bit busy but i just came back recently. finally finished my clutch job that i started this summer (that snowballed into a bit more than the clutch). dunno how it runs yet, as i just fired it up tonight. just wanted to see if it would start but i haven't finished putting on the exhaust and open headers sound like the world is going to end (in a good way)
