I just ordered a 1800 watt system for my car, MY question is will me windows be able to handle that much?

Question

Will I need Plexiglass windows or something?

Answer 1

Not likely. Look at the watts RMS of the system as this is the true watts your pushing.

If your total system power is more than 1000 watts RMS you will need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator and the ground strap.

Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.

Answer 2

HAHA, Trust me 1800 watts is not what you have. Its probably around 100-250 watts (if that) Its probably rated at 14 volts (your car can only produce 12volts) and just over all BS. So you don’t have to worry about a thing, well as far as blowing a window out.

Now. . . To blow your windows what would have to happen is a substantial about of wind and actual volume of pressure produced from the woofers in the car. In an essence you would need several (expansive) competition subs and an extra battery, and reinforced alternator , alternate grounds to the car, and power capacitor(s) to maybe wiggle the windows a little.

Answer 3

Two things:
1. 1800 watts is a fairly meaningless number, because that is probably measured in peak power -- not continuous power.
2. Your ears will go long before the windows do if you use anywhere near that much power.
