Phaeton Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hey guys, i bought a h/o alt from ebay cause it was $220 shipped to my door and it did 250 amps, I want it to charge 15.5 volts, so i can have better wattage at my amps, and not mess up my stock electrical. Any ideas? i drive a 07 gmc 2500hd classic body with the 6.0L (gas) http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIGH-OUTPUT-250AMP-ALTERNATOR-CHEVROLET-AVALANCHE-5-3L-03-04-/280918910989?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3AGMC%7CModel%3ASierra+2500+HD%7CSubmodel%3AClassic+SLE%7CEngine+-+Liter_Display%3A6.0L&hash=item416812680d&vxp=mtr 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Most are going to say get a new alt. I would have to agree. I bought a cheap alt and it didn't put out at idle, lights would dim etc. So I sent it back and contacted DC and bought a real HO alt. I upgraded to a higher charging voltage regulator and I now charge at 14.7 warm. They are not cheap but they work unlike the cheap eBay crap.

WastedTalent Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well, I have to agree with soundguy. Ebay = buy cheap electronics, clothes, collectables, etc. You realize how sketchy people are in life? Ebay is easiest way to do that, minus craigslist. So I would say ditch it and get with a real company and get an alt. But, it'll be pricey. For sure. If you insist on keeping that alt, you'll need a voltage regulator. XS carries em, I think.
