I was hoping to hear a little about what kind of alternators you guys use / have used and what your experience with them is. Like what size is it, for what vehicle, how many, what is it powering, what is it putting out? ...did it fail, is it nearly indestructible, did you have to customize your vehicle to make it fit (and how so?) Basically any information you provide would be really helpful. You can only find so much information from digging on the internet before you have to start asking questions. Anyway, I want to buy a new alternator for my Pontiac g6, but I'm really unsure of what to get. The biggest alt I can find for my vehicle is a 240 amp. Basically I'd like to be able to have a more than sufficient power supply if possible. I don't think there is any room to run a second alt under the hood.. Which would be nice. But I was thinking if there was a way for me to make a custom bracket to mount a bigger universal alternator.. that would probably be best? If anybody has personal experience with a g6 and alternators, please let me know! I would greatly appreciate any personal experiences, suggestions and feedback

New to the forums. Here is my 2011 Chevrolet Aveo install. Nothing too fancy, soon to upgrade.Install Consists of:Eclipse CD3200 Head unitHifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D(2)Alpine Type-R 10's ([email protected]Ω)Sealed box, that's on the small side.Lemme know what you think.P.S.- Please excuse my mess. The amp, rear hatch, and subs were dirty by the time I finished this install. They've been cleaned.Pic 4 also shows 1 VC connected; 1 coil is shorted, so until I recone it, that's all she's got.

I got me a new car and a new job so it's time for a system. I am still in the process of purchasing most of the components. I'm gonna keep you people in the dark to what the end game is for the build but if you follow the build I will try to post as many pics as i can. If there are any pics of that car or components you guys want me to post I will try to do my best. I will post component pics when I recieve them. Enjoy!!

Who has the cheapest alternator? Does cheap mean no warranties and really poor customer service? I've been told Iraggi is the cheapest with the worst customer service.

ok so im looking to upgrade my alternator I would like around a 165 amp or so but I don't have the bank for a big name like mechman I have a 98 Honda civic hx kinetic hc 1400 under the hood big 3 with shca 1/0 and 1 run of 1/0 about to add another run of 1/0 and add 1 or 2 more hc 1400 in the rear and I need an alt that will keep up any budget brands or more affordable brands or companies out there that anyone know of I would like more reliability above all, and I can be flexible on the amperage I just need more than 70 amps ( I believe that's what my stock alt is) currently im dropping to 12.4v on test tones at 2kish + rpm I need to make it stop!!!

So I recently decided to tear the wall out of my blazer, I loved it and it sounded amazing but the truck was just to small and I wanted to change up the build and do something new. So I tore everything out of the blazer and sold all the audio gear except the Batteries and alts. The plans for this build are: 16 XFL 15s 1 AB1100.1(Eventually going to add a second) 6 XS Power D3100s 4 Iraggi 270a Alts Ether 16 PWX-10s or PWX-8s(8 in each door,have to see what my max mounting depth is.) 8 Crescendo FT1 Super tweeters(4 in each door) 3 Oxygen Audio AIR2PROF550 4 channels(eventually will be running alot more for the speakers in the second row doors and behind the wall) Pioneer AVH-P8400BH 7" Touchscreen 2 SMD Vu-Dins 2 SMD VM-1s Huge Turn On Relay kit by CE Auto Electric Supply iPad center console Truck is a 2005 Suburban Fully Loaded, Just picked her up today.
