Default Alternater question
I just ordered a pair of Hella 500 lights and had some questions about the stock battery and alternater.

Will the stock battery and alt. be able to handle the Hella's, stock lights and my stereo (amp pushes around 600 watts on 2 12" subs)?

Thanks for any advice

You might look at the 120 amp upgrade for the ZJ's...Since the ZJ's and XJ's used the same 90 amp I would assume the 120 amp should bolt right up the same.

Or lose the amp and just wheel it. It's a Jeep not a concert hall.
