id say you bought the vz 120 amp, cause im telling ya a ve wont work, they are different, im pretty sure ive even got the holden document on here in the ve section telling you why,

even with all that stuff in your car i would be looking at different areas, i deal with sound installs aswell as a hobby, my cousin's ute is decked out with more gear than that, but higher quality which could make the amps more power effiecent, but his stereo running off a power pack the power pack puts out between 16-23amps to run it,


even my alpine pdx amp which is a class d digital 5 channel amp that puts out max 1600w peak over 5 channells uses only about 12-16 amps at half volume

hehe......... yes well when i'm screaming down the highway i have my stereo around 26-30 depending on the song and quality (bass etc) ........ my headunit goes to like 45 i think maybe, but 30 is virtually peak loudness on my setup (the distort zone starts to come in).

and alternators also produce alot less current on hot days..... so

hows that ve starter motor going mat? no only does it start the motor quicker, i think it gives it more power as you can feel the car rock as it kicks into life. i really was surprised when we changed that...
