first time upgrading alts need some help


Recommended Posts

here soon im completely upgrading my system. im getting a dc 2k amp too run 2 dc level 4 12s. im also running a 500 watt amp for my highs. im putting an extra battery in my truck but i figured i should do it the right way and just go ahead and get an alternator too. i dont know which size to get. if anyone has any suggestions on what size i should get it would be greatly appreciated. the truck is a 2006 f150. thanks in advance

get the biggest ond that fits your car. usually companies offer ranges for amperage depending on your car. Youll wanna upgrade later and selling alts almost always ends up losing money. you dont wanna end up buying two alts etc so just buy the biggrst one first :)

Setup:


2010 Hyundai Elantra


Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC


Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt


Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000


Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of -


DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s

it wont hurt if the alt is way to big? the smallest one mechman makes for my truck is a 240 and i really have no idea how many rms thats good for. the biggest is a 270 you think i should just get it? how many rms is that good for i dont want to run more than 1 alternator and 1 extra battery.
