Ok guys, I have a Nissan Pathfinder (70 amp alternator). I would love to install a 500. Will my alternator handle this? I only see a 70 watt RMS difference between the 350 and 500. Any thoughts? Amp will be driven by a RCI 2950 DX. |

Should be ok just rember the correct wire size and ground.
from what I know you should draw about 45-50 amps but I am not a radio tech.

I would be worried about the computer controls at 200 watts they could crash ....

I would suggest going with the TS 350. I know a local that tried to use a TS in a Nissan pickup with a 70 amp and had alot of issues. But when he went to a TS 350 everything seemed to work out fine. I think that is alittle two much draw for a 70 amp service and driven by a 2950 dual final radio. |

dx350 should do 250 watts PEP, the dx500 should see near 500 watts PEP. stick with the dx350. the 500 would require a bigger alternator, battery, cables, charge wire, and some work to isolate the computer. |
