DLHgn Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 You can keep adding batteries but the problem with that is that they won't be recharged very fast. After a while of playing your music loud you'll need to let it all sit and recharge. Lets say that your alt really does put out a max of 120A right now. If you have 480aH worth of batteries, it would take you almost 5 minutes to fully recharge your batteries after 1 minute of full power taking efficiency into account. This is also assuming that your batteries are able to supply the necessary power to the amps and other electrical components. On top of this, you're going to be straining the stock alt trying to push it at max power for long periods of time. I'm no expert so my math and reasoning may be off/skewed but it doesn't sound all that great to me. Honestly, I would just wait and save money to buy the HO alt so you can get it asap. Just resist the urge to play full tilt for extended periods of time. Also, try looking at mechman or singer for an alt. They may have the same kind of HO alt for less. I know DC is known to be a bit pricey.

J_west07 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 No other companies make them for my car I've contacted all of them. Maybe I should just buy the alt and wait on the sub

Well the people that I know that and have been doing it for years haven't had any problems lol. What about the people that compete solely off battery banks and recharge them after the comp?
