Mosley_23 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 I'm going to be running a us amps d3dm on 2 15in kicker l7 q series. And I'm running a diamond audio 400x4 for highs and mids. I don't really wanna fork out the money for another alternator right due to me just buying a new one. My stock alternator is 135 amps and I'll be buying 2 redtops one for the front and one for the trunk. Do you think that'll work? It's just a daily system

reedal Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Don't buy the red tops + return new OEM alt = HO alt money.

Mosley_23 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Posted March 1, 2016 I would if I could I already returned my core
reedal Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 So you won't get the money that you already received for the core, but you should be able to get the remainder cost of the replacement as long as you kept the receipt SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32
Mosley_23 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Posted March 1, 2016 Would I be okay buying 2 yellowtops or 1 redtop and 1 yellow?
Miguels Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 dont buy yellow tops.. they are all hype .. i have quite a few that gave out after a few months.. get quality batteries.. better yet get a 200a alternator.. if it was autozone and you have not used your alt you can return it my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
tdsa23 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 If you have to do them I would do two yellow tops. But look into XS Power or Northstar, they are better batts.

everybodyknowme Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 For the price you paid for the oem alternator and the cost of 2 red tops you could have gotten a quality ho alternator and 1 decent batt
everybodyknowme Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 So to clarify did you have a system before replacing the alternator. If so you probably knew you needed an ho but tried to skimp out spending the cash.
