P4killer_ Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 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 Quote 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonsbeats Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 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.
