Nikitaaa Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 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, My link 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!

Nikitaaa Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Here's your solution: Find a job and buy your self a good alternator and not some cheap chines knockoff . Btw, how many batteries are you running? Well, it's wrestling season at the moment. So I don't have any time for a job I have 2 at the moment. Stock battery up front, and a Stinger SPV44 in the back. The reason I want something soon is because I hate seeing my voltage drop so low, and it worries me that my equipment might be damaged with the low dips. Do you think a big battery up front might make a difference?

photochrisb931 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree with LoudBimmer. Save up the extra 100 and go with the Singer. It is an extra 40amps and most importantly you know who made it and his reputation. The saying you get what you pay for goes a long way. Also check DC power and Ohio Generators. Probably will not be a lot of difference in price but you will get quality. Quote Barstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suck it up and do it right boi Yeah, I really wish this wasn't the case.. I just spent $150 for 0/1 wire so I know how it feels to pay a ton for wire. To me, that is a great deal of money..

Nikitaaa Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do you guys think that maybe a big battery up front might get the job done better that the alt? Something like a XS D3400 or a Stinger SPV70?
