C63C Alternator Output

Does anyone know how many amps the stock alternator puts out? I'm looking to install a subwoofer and was wondering how many watts I would be able to safely run to it without putting too much strain on the electrical system.

Here you go

From the Operator's Manual - Alternator = 14V/180A

Ahh thanks. I should be able to run a 750W Class D amp (JL Audio HD750/1) on that without any problems right?

I cannot help you with that. Best to ask the vendor. Maybe someone else can help you with that. I think a few guys have added amps and subs.

I put in a 500 watt amp with no problems. The amp runs perfect, as far as 750 watts I'm not sure.
