on the OEM battery, probably not

get a 1.0 - 1.2 Farad cap (or 2) and get a better battery (odyssey, optima) to replace the OEM. Might even want to consider the PG Powercore

PG powercore 15farad.

You're safe to go with this. No matter how many watts your amp putting out. If the amp isnt getting enough power from battery, you better prepare for distortion.(spelling?) The 15 farad will get enough power and hold it for that such amp. So you would have dimming light nor distortion. As what Derek at Sound in Motion said to me. SIM know their ****. So whatever they say, i buy it. They're no bull****ter
