    HO Alternator

    A very good and loud stereo will easily eat up 200A . My sub pulls 200A by its self. 50A for my mid bass, and 100A for my woofer and tweets. But I have a second batt and dual 5F caps to help even out the Amp draw.

    Might Buy an A3 TDI 2011 with 80k Miles...

    Its a great car, mine lasted 305k before the tranny took a dump. You just need the timing belt and waterpump replaced every 120k and the DSG fluids done and it will run forever
