Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 News flash that's what all alternator builders do. You didn't actually think they make all the internals themselves did you? 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.

Bump4life Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 News flash that's what all alternator builders do. You didn't actually think they make all the internals themselves did you? this is true. most companies buy everything pre-assembled from over seas. when i see american made hairpin alternators from anyone I laugh. last time i checked there wasn't a hairpin stator machine in the US. sure they could be using regitar rectifiers, "USA" made, or the old fashioned s wound stators could be USA made, but hairpins, no. for all we know, they could be buying these parts from other companies in the business. the reason they cant mod the fans on the rotor is because they would need to call the factory or their US supplier and say hayyyyy, can you make us a reverse fan rotor. and then the supplier is going to say sure we can, we need a 5,000 unit order minimum, and that right there kills the idea. much easier just to take the cooling efficiency loss. and replace the alternator 5 times if it does get too hot which they are using the more reliable 250A units to make sure they dont get too hot even if they have a cooling handicap Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

MECHMAN Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 News flash that's what all alternator builders do.

Not to call you out, (we appreciate your explanation) but a large majority of 128mm and 128mm Denso haripin alternators are made for OEM's right here in Alcoa, TN at the Denso plant about 30 minutes from our facility... That being said, anyone is welcome to tour our TN or NV facilities any time during normal business hours to see how we build units. We have nothing to hide, we use the best parts available. If a sufficient part is not available for what we are trying to do, we tool up and design a component to meet our specs. It doesn't make good business sense to go through all the hassle to design every nut bolt and washer if there is an off the shelf part available that is already bad ass. This same logic would apply to any manufacturer building subs, amps, etc... 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
