what about if i did it like this?

thx

Its more so the wires in the harness that im worried about, dont know what to put where or w/e "If you got the alternator from the same truck that you drive (IE: year, make, model, engine size) then I would think you could just get a second alternator plug and splice it into the wiring for the stock alternator" is more what im thinking, I am looking for someone with experience to tell me if its right. splice all the wires from the second alternator into the first one? thanks again. lAutruche - you go on www.explorerforum.com?

thanks for the reply but I would rather not get more battery's and yea, it was just more to show what battery they go to, Grounds go back to the battery not the frame. Ive emailed a few people, and a couple companies, and been on a few forums but haven't gotten a reply yet. still searching... i didn't think this was going to be as hard to find a clear answer, seeing as many people have done this. im not only doing this just for myself though, I belong to a forum and many of the members would like to know how to do this, so im trying to find out, then write a guide so they can do it to their explorers. thanks for giving me some more names to follow

Hey everyone, im new to the forum, need some help. I want to install dual alternators in my truck, im removing the A/C, made a bracket, and will use the stock belt. i can't seem to find any concrete info. i want to have both alternators working together charging the whole system. I know that i could just go buy a HO alt and call it a day, but i off-road with my truck, and i eat through alts because they just get caked with crud. so i would rather spend less on a 130 amp with a nice warranty, then like 300 on one with a 1 year. plus the whole cool factor would be nice lol. the problem i have is how i should wire everything up... this is what it looks like right now. the truck is a 97 explorer with stock 130 amp alternator, harness has 2 wires (Green/Yellow) thanks guys this is what my system consists of. "Big Three" 50FT of O Gauge (Knu) 2 300Amp fuses (Knu) 2 Caps (3.5 and 2.0) 2 Optima Yellow tops and a 1000CCA Motomaster. American Bass XD2000 (approx. 2500RMS at .67 Ohm's) 6 Sony Xplod's (in parallel with 8gauge) custom made ported enclosure Alpine SPR-13S all around MTX T4004 (Approx. 200Rms) for now Sony WX-GT77UI double-din 8500LB winch 700W worth of lights
