concerning h/o alt


Recommended Posts

ok saved up a few hundred bucks to purchase an alternator

but thing is that it'll only put out 180 amps (singer) (bolt on like the stock

no custom brace needed)

much more than my stock which is 80amps lol

running all sky high 1/0

planning to get a second xs xp950 (have one in rear) and have a yellow top infront

(will also upgrade)

for now I'm running audio pipe apsm2000 and a Rockford 250.4

but looking to upgrade after i purchase my alt

should i be ok with 180amps?

mostly for daily, maybe meter it once in a blue moon

or what would you guys recommend?

thanks

best,

You may want to go bigger. Bass is a drug and you will get tired of 1000 watts. Then you are back to upgrading bigger again.
