Hey everyone, so the stock alternator in my 1998 4runner 3.4L V6 is not doing it for my system. I think it only runs like 70 amps max.. My lights dim a lot when i turn my subs up and my amp sometimes cuts off and starts blinking a yellow light on heavy mid notes then turns back on when notes return to lows and highs. From what I read that means I'm running low on voltage and need a new alt. Therefore, I'm looking for advice as to what high output alternator i should go for, I will list my current system specs and if anyone could point me in the direction of a good H.O. alt for my car & system that would be awesome! My budget is anywhere up to $800.
My system currently consists of:
Head unit:
-Alpine IDA-X305
Sub Woofer:
-Kicker zx2500.1 with 1/0 gauge wiring from batt. & ground running at 2 ohms
-25 farad capasitor
-2 kicker L7 15's
-4.7 cu ft custom box tuned at 25 hrtz
Speakers:
-Alpine PDX-F4 with 8 gauge wiring from batt & ground
-Alpine Type R spr-17c & spr-17s speakers
Battery:
-Toyota True 2 (0554-035T2-525)
I will be installing the Big 3 upgrade along with my new H.O. Alternator.
