amp recommendation for S45HP

[dxing440]

I have an 06 ram 2500 (diesel = 2batteries already) The radio is an Omegaforce S45HP and love it. Antenna is Wilson 5000 mag.
Variable dk1-15 and swings 70-80wPEP.
The altenator supplies 14.6v What amp could i run with this radio, with having 2 batteries already?

what size alternator does your truck have ?

 

[dxing440]

its 160amp

texas star sweet 16 and put fans on it . you'll have a pretty clean kilowatt PEP and add almost 2 s-units to your signal .

A local several years ago ran your radio with a TnT 600 from X-Force. He was getting 700 ish watts and sounded great. There is also a TnT 1000 that would be good as well.

I am partial to the tx stars because of efficeincy of amps drawn, but i guess with my trucks setup (160amp alt and 2 batts) the tnt wouldnt be a problem.
I know the ts sweet 16can handle more watts than the s45hp has, (85w) BUT would a rci2970n2, (240w) be to much for the ts sweet 16?

Yes it would but, just back the variable power down to match what you need.

Cool thx for the help! Ill Look at the tnt. I liked TS for the SSB, BUT come to think of HECK Ive never done SSb in the vehicle, its to much of a hassle.
