Um. This reads sort of like a joke - so I'm not sure how literally you mean this - but I feel compelled to point out that if he does exactly what you are saying he will - uhh - ruin his Red Tops.

So don't do that twobig.

If I did do this I would do it before I installed the red tops. My old battery got drained a couple times already...so its next to worthless and I dont need it after I finish the install.

So if I wanted to show them that I would install the system but run it on the old battery and the old alternator...now if I did that would that/could that damage anything...the whole underpowering the amps...

Also Ive showed them the math and they still dont believe it...

i really think that if you power up your system with the old battery and alt that once you turn up the volume it will just kill your car if you are at idle... a pdx 1000 would do that to my friends prelude all the time until he got his ho alt

you can do it....

advanced MECP, lol does it really matter....

That is the truth, you will ruin the battery's, I forgot to mention to do it with the old battery. Bust seriously, don't do it, you could possibly fry something with too low of a voltage.

Not really sure why I posted that, could be the 4 projects, 5 exams, and 3 lab tests to be done between now and next Thursday... gah! My mind has escaped me.
