MusicHead804 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 when buying a alternator what do I have to take into perspective? I've been told that I can't just up and buy and 250amp alt because my car might not be able to handle it. Is this true ?
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 No. An alt doesn't produce it's max output at all times, it only produces what is asked for That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
moredbs Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 As long as your getting a DC,Mechman, or Singer ... i would say ask one of those guys what your looking to do.
boom50cal Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Smaller engines can and will be bogged down under load from a HO alt... 01 Volvo S40 with a Singer 220, 1.9l turbo 4 cylinder would drop 3-500 rpm while cruising during heavy notes. Good friend of mine has a 96 Accord 2.2 4 cylinder with a DC270xp, under heavy load it has been known to stall.

MusicHead804 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Posted March 7, 2015 So I can just buy it and then install it ?
MusicHead804 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Posted March 7, 2015 My stock alt is 170amp so Ik my car engine is big enough
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 What car? what system? what Batts? What alt? You may not even need a 250 amp alt That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
boom50cal Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 what vehicle? It would be a good idea to ask your alternator builder these questions. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Ok now what alt are you looking at? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
