Do I Really Need A High Out Put Alternator


Recommended Posts

Well I have a Kicker Zx1500.1 running 2 ohms to a kicker L7 d4 15" and 2-Kicker Zx200.2 Bridged into 4 ohms to a set of Polk MM6500. A Stock 90 amp Alernator and a Diehard under the hood and a Kintek 800 in the rear and a Sound steam 6 farad cap. This is a daily driver and only does show every blue moonn. Also I have done the big 3 and run 1/0 ga wire from front to rear, 4ga to the Zx15000.1 and 8 ga to the Zx200.2.

what voltage do you hold full tilt? or just regular play? if it drops way low on just daily driveing play then i would try to upgrade if you can afford to do so , it will never hurt haveing a bigger alt than factory

Agree along with the Big 3, Better front battery and maybe a second battery

I would only get one if your having problems with your current setup. Make the most with what you have, Ive 4krms in my car and i have a stock 80amp alt that is doing fine with the help of an extra battery in the back. however this is mainly for daily driving and i dont have it at full tilt when im driving around .. for the most part. Exhaust all your options before upgrading your alt...

Too Much Stuff to list .

yea, it don't hurt to upgrade it, i just install a mean green alternator and a yellow top in my 2000 nissan xterra, and iam pushin way over 5000watts, and it runs fine, usual a new high power alternator and a fresh battery like a yellow top does the trick. though iam having to buy another yellow top.

I got everything wired up and gave the system a pretty hard test. The amp draw never went over 70 and the voltage never dropped below 13.3. So i'm good right? Thats at 3/4 volume playing Webbie's Bad Bitch
