speedball1978 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 270 amp alts seem to have the most output at low idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Hollywood** Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 270 will be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSanders17 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 x10 on the 270, that's what I'm putting in my Altima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 how much stress will be put on my engine with running such a high output ? my stock is 70A and i will be chaging the pullys to a ribbed rather than V belt but how much strain will be put on the engine ? and what would be the bare min of AMP needed ?

MECHMAN Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 At max load your car and system can pull 280a+. You have to figure that you can't play or draw the max output all the time unless you played one note constantly for minutes at a time with your lights and AC on so you can work just fine with proper batteries and a 220a alternator. 270a would be better peak and idle, but will it fit your application?
