Papaslim Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've recently installed a Shurikne BT-120 in my trunk and a Optima Red Top under the hood. I am upgrading my sub amp from a Planet Audio 1400w at 1ohm(i ran it a 1ohm) to possibly a AQ2200 or a Hifonics BRZ2100. Either amp will be running at 1ohm. My question is do I need a H/O alt? I do have 1/0 running front to back. If I do need a H/O, where to find one for my 98 Jeep Cherokee, because I've had a very hard time finding one that actually fits. DC Power is out of the question. They said, "Direct Fit," but the alt didn't fit and they took for ever to refund my money.

Papaslim Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 you couldnt have looked very hard. I know of three that can do it off the top of my head. they have some, but i won't a direct fit. I know DC listed some. Mechman I haven't tried. I don't want to spend anymore money on something that "might" fit. And have my truck in the shop for weeks without and alt.

The alt replace took around 2 hours, but after discovering that the alt didn't fit I attempted several times to contact DC Power with no success. I had to wait until the BBB to contact DC to even get a response so that I could get a refund.

Rebel4055 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Since you took it to a shop and probably didn't witness it, are YOU sure it wouldn't fit. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Papaslim Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Since you took it to a shop and probably didn't witness it, are YOU sure it wouldn't fit. I was watching them install it. I saw everything. The alt was hitting against the factory mounting bracket.

KillaCam Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Since you took it to a shop and probably didn't witness it, are YOU sure it wouldn't fit. Thats what I was thinking. OP have you tried doing it yourself? Its really not that complicated, look up a "how to" guide.

I agree that you shouldn't have had to call the BBB to get ahold of them, but having your truck sitting in a shop for something as simple as an alt replacement is just a bad judgement call.
