Default Amp(erage) Draw

I'm not smart enough, so I'm tossing this out for help. As the winter season approaches I will continue to ride, but would like to use my heated gear (pants, jacket, gloves). They have a combined amp draw around 14 amps. I'm using the Arc Moto 600.4 for my audio setup. My 17 RGS has a 50 amp alternator (correct me if I'm wrong). Is all of this going to play together nicely or will there be an issue.

Thanks,
Hurl

I have full Gerbing gear, 15A fused. Two big amps. Only thing I do is leave the heat off until bike is running.

These are pretty cool.

They will tell you how many amps you are actually getting. After the radio,lights,ecu
you will have about 20-25 amps for the amplifier. 20-25amps of current will give you about 250 max wattage out of your 600.4.

Stay warm.

To do that you will need to go with a higher level like the 365, 376 or 381.
