Torres Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 anytime you go over 1000-1500 watts, you're going to want to upgrade your alt and other electrical as well. you'll probably need 2 alts. i'd definitely go with the 300 amp alt. that 110 amp will die on you if you're not careful. my old one died on me on my old setup. nice amp btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass 4 love Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i upgraded my ALT and it's a big diff!!!!! 180amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 upgrade the alt....im thinking the 200 amp alt may have a higher idle output, so that may be your preference if you play your music while parked a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 You may not see a huge difference between the two.My self I bought 2-240 amp alternators and they were only about 10 more amps than factory at idle.After replacing the pulley with a smaller one I was seeing a 15 amp difference.While raising the car RPMs to 3000 I only saw a 30amp difference.After the smaller pulley and a 16.2 set point my alts will hit 200 but still drop off when hot. A 200 or 300 amp alt is tested cold so how long will it stay cold running. (not very)I've found this to be like a amps rms watts compared to its max watts. A 300 amp alt will heat up faster and give you a little more charge faster. A 200 amp will warm up slower and charge more stable longer. Either way you will see a difference how much does vary missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.
