Hijole!
40 amps?
Thats like 500 watts man!
Wow!
Me thinks you mean watts (40), in which case your are looking at about somewhere between 3.5 and 7 amps to power the equipment, depending upon the amplifier configuration and efficiency.
This would of course be only at full volume. Lower volume levels will likely require lower power levels from the alternator.
