new possible idle problem! (mortovate.ca)

mortovate.ca jus updated his website. i was goin thru his new discoveries and came across the UDP/alternator analysis. i'm still runnin stock BOSE system, but i do have a 12V splitter into 4 ports. 3 of them are taken (1 for radar detector, 2 for my rice 15" neon rod). so tat's about 36V rite there. along with other electronics goin (BOSE, tails, misc.), it should be higher. if stock crankshaft at idle (which is 750rpm) can only output maxium 84 amps, am i runnin too high? could tat be another reason tat cause my idle to drop because the alternator can't support enough power?

first off, thats not how electrical systems work. Its still 12 volts, your just drawing more amperage. 2 Neons and a radar detector are not going to do anything to your car. They consume close to no power. On the other hand, a 1000 watt subwoofer amplifier, will draw quite a bit of power. You have nothing to worry about.
