samslowp1s Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Does anyone know of a real "High Output" alt for my car? I am trying to plan a semi-big system but can't find anything that will keep up with the amps I want to get. The biggest I could find was a 180 amp unit, on ebay no less. If you know anything that will work with a DC 2K or 3.5K and a nice 4 channel, please let me know. I already have a Yellow top under the hood and the big 3 done. It is a daily driver so it will be near full tilt just about all the time, so I know I will need strong electrical to back up how I listen to music. Thanks.

samslowp1s Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 contact mechman or dc power they have 270 320 and so Will they be direct bolt on or will I have to get a bracket made for it? I was thinking DC would have it but, I don't know which one would be better DC or Mechman? I see a lot of people using both on the site but I think Mechman has cheaper prices. Would I be better off going with DC? I mean it would match the rest of my system, once I save up enough for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball1978 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 they are both excellent alts, brackets are only used for adding a 2nd or so alt to an existing one.. it should be direct bolt on for you unless mechman or dc power says you need a bracket then they will have it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I had problems with mechman on my accord. and it was a very tight fit. DC was alot better fit and havent had problems out of it.

In your experience which has the cheaper price? It is a small factor on when I can start building. I have a big family so I can't just drop it whenever I need. Saving up is more of a bish than waiting after you order the stuff. IMO. I can't stand the planning and saving part of this hobby.

Thanks, that is exactly the kind of info I needed about the alts. I haven't heard of many people putting "real systems" in this year Accord. I have done a lot of searching and only found a couple small build logs with this body Accord. If you know of any, please links me to them as I am very interested in what they did with the space I have available. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball1978 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 brackets aren't include in the price of the alt, they cost addtional green bills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball1978 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 they're both the same in price and quality, but dc power does offer a 2 year warranty, and i think mechman has the adjustable voltage regulator (not sure if its included or not) www.mechman.com www.dcpowerinc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 i wouldnt worry about adjustable voltage on an accord. the cars computer will just turn it down on its own. they are dumb like that Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
