Tarball Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 To answer the generic question "When is a HO Alt needed?" A High Output Alternator is needed when your total potential amp draw of your audio system and accessories added to the total potential amp draw of your vehicles electrical system exceeds the output of your existing alternator. Though there are other things that can mitigate the voltage drop (adding batteries (power storage), monitoring voltage, etc) an adequate power source (Alternator(s))is the root of the electrical needs of any given application. Quote CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.
