Hello fellow bass heads!!
Recently, i've been busting my ass trying to find a halfway affordable H.O. Alt for my 2003 Subaru Outback. The stock Alt is around 70-90 amps and I dip into the 11.5's with "1700" watts.. I've emailed Mechman, Excessive Amperage, and Mike Singer. So far, i've gotten responses back from two of them.
When I visited Mechman's Website, the only direct fit unit they had for my car was only a 105 amp replacement unit for over $300! I thought this was quite a bit of money to pay for a extra 20 amps. I know that in the car audio game, you get what you pay for. But this is a little over the top. I emailed Eric asking him if he had any other options for me, or my car, and the responsive was negative. Mechman is out of the question.
Next, I emailed Mike Singer to see if he could make me something special, and I received a email quoting me $360 dollars for a 200 amp unit. Seeing I'm young and without a job at the moment, this was still a little bit to much for me. I know this is a fantastic deal, but I won't have money again for quite a long while due to everyday expenses. I have a little under $300 dollars at the moment and that's my limit for what i can spend.
Like i've said before, I know you have to spend money in this game to get quality products, but money is really an issue for me. I came across this the other day,

Does this look legit to you guys? I read around on the Outback Forums, and a few dudes had installed this alt. And it seems that people have bought it in the past. This is about the most I can afford at the moment because i'm selling my xbox and a small alpine four channel to get a new alt.
What do you guys think? Is it a legit Alt? Anybody else I should email or contact? Thank you!
