How much overhead on a 60-amp 22RE?
I'm looking at doing some electrical upgrades soon, and I don't want to risk overloading the alternator. I was wondering just how much amperage is safely available for additional accessories. I'm upgrading the audio system, which includes a 300-watt amplifier (20 amps) , and I'd like to add in heated seats, which I've read are 7.5-10 amps each. The only other thing I have on there is a 120 watt led light bar, which uses about 8 amps when it's on.

one thing to do is not turn all that crap on at once.
I converted every bulb on my 81 including the headlights to LED, it helped to keep the alternator happy. I have done the same thing with the exception of the dash (it will get done) with the same goal in mind
you could do a GM CS130 alternator pretty easily
