CUT BUDDY Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Posted November 12, 2006 WORD! :-* Thats not bad. I can spring about $800 for 2- 275amps or 2- 300 amp Iraggi's. Which one does the best for street vehicles, cuz I heard someone say that the mid200amp ones do more at idle than the big 300amp ones? Which 2 do yall think I would need (just daily driven ground pounder with a/c + heat, hyper white lights, about 5 TV monitors and 6 deep cycles with 920amps-1800amps of fuses)?

dmanson Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 well irraggi also quoted me a 220 amp too and it ran $239 and he said that it would put out more amps at idle than the 240. i might just go with the 220 amp alternator, it's only $20 cheaper but i can use the idle power.

CUT BUDDY Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Posted November 12, 2006 yea I feel ya, that just gives me an idea. I could get 1 that puts more out at idle and the other that puts more out once the rpm gets to going so it will give me enuf juice through the whole rpm range Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators
ChevyBoy Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 he has 2 series of alts. one puts out more at idle and costs more, and the other puts out the same amount, just not at idle. Quote
CUT BUDDY Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 oooooh! well I might as well get the 2 that do more at idle Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators
dmanson Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 that's what i'm planning on doing. my RPMs are only up when i'm on the highway and heck i don't play it that loud when i'm doing 70 mph. i need it to blast when i'm doing 35 and under.

CUT BUDDY Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Posted November 14, 2006 220 $339 240 $359 260 $379 280 $399 300 $419 Dual alt brackets. $219.00 Triple alt brackets. $678.00 (Much different bracket) I think the way he said they work is those are the amperage but he has 2 in each amperage rating one just does more at idle but both do the same at higher RPMs. So Imma get 1 of each 300amp alts and the dual bracket=1057+shipping....dat aint bad cuz I know with 600amps of alts I have plenty of room for upgrades.

Were did you get the pricing for the dual alts? You could probably DIY and it would be a hell of alot cheaper. Quote
CUT BUDDY Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Posted November 14, 2006 That dude Dom....ur probably right but how would I go about making one? Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators
