Even if one was not into competition but had a competent, hi-power, after-market car audio set-up, the replacement of the alternator w/a hi-power version can provide near 400Amp, if needed.
Yes, good point...though I don't know how beefy and/or modifiable those systems are, to be sucking high amperage out of the system.
So many years went by since I bought my Alpine PDX-V9 and things have not evolved much I see. Except for price. But still.
Alpine PDX-V9 Review (car amplifier)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Alpine PDX-V9 four channel amplifier plus subwoofer amp. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $999. Despite having one more channel than PDX-F6, The V9 is in the same box: Let's see if it measures as well as the F6 did. Alpine PDX-V9...

Although the noise-level is high, but you still need excellent car audio system, maybe something else than noise.
It's really expensive, even more expensive than a car.Like this:
Purifi based car amp: Brax by Audiotec Fischer
Very interesting how this manufacturer of car audio amps not only uses a custom amp co-developed with Purifi using Eigentakt technology, but also TI OPA1612 opamps and ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chip. And Made in Germany too. What a beast of an amp! :oops: No idea on pricing yet, but of course it will...
Maybe change the chasis to adjust car use.
Maybe the chassis could be used as a giant heat sink! And I agree vehicles can be noisy-a giant company I worked for was using a kind of rolling dyno they could put different surfaces onto and showed that more noise made the sound more "sour." However some vehicles are pretty quiet, quieter than some people's living situations. A good sound system in the car is still much more enjoyable than a poor sound system.
Ugh too many to reply to. A friend worked fighting aircraft overflight noise. The far-from-neutral FAA worked hard for decades to fight against President Clinton's decree to reduce this in National Parks, and they wanted to use a similar method of number versus number. However as @amirm alluded to it is more complex than that. The spectrum matters: pretend the road noise was ALL low frequencies and the hiss ALL high frequencies, the road noise would not drown out the hiss. Our hearing is also directional and sensitive to patterns and to music related stuff like distortion.
The load was likely well under 4ohms and it was getting push well into clipping.
2 channels.
