I'd get the biggest starter battery available from XS Power that would fit in your vehicle. I got the XS D2400 only because my Camry can't fit anything bigger under the hood. My alt is a Michael Singer* 200A but I would have gone for a 350A output if I had the room under the hood. It sucks having a small car. I'm not a car mechanic either and know nothing about cars and was able to watch youtube videos to do the alternator swap myself. But yeah, I'd recommend getting a 350A output alternator. You can fill out an application for an alt request / info from Singer Alt here: http://singeralternators.com/ You can always add a second battery in the trunk for your next sound system upgrade. I normally wait for a forum group buy or big sale before I buy my batteries though. You should contact sonicxs to see if they will add those giant XS Power batteries to their 11 day Christmas countdown sale.

Wannabe Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I don't wanted o spend 700$ on an alt Can I just get like a 240amp or so this is my first build, i have been waiting 4-5 years to have this done 95 chevy 2 door tahoe 5.7 Xs power d3400 Singer 275amp alternator Big 3 - all Knukonceptz Kolossus Fleks 0ga/ knu Fuses an holders Sundown SAE-1500d Mbquart onyx OA800.4 Stinger 4400 series RCAs and stinger volt meter Fi Q NEO 18, 7.5 cubes tuned 32hz Pioneer MVH-X690BS H/U Kicker CSS 6.5 comp sets in front doors Kicker KSC 4x10 coaxials in rear GTMAT and FAT MAT deadner Xenon 10k Blue HIDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'd give Michael Singer some time to reply. He helped me out with all my questions during my alt installation process via e-mail. Getting the biggest alt you can afford that fits your car would save you more money long term. You could get a way without needing to add that second battery in the trunk that might cost an extra $350+ a 350A output alt will probably only cost you around $550 250A output is probably around $430.00 DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06RTCharger Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Just a suggestion. Make sure the alt puts out decent amperage at idle. I think i remember some people saying that those higher 300+amp alternators usually have lower power at idle than the 200+amp alternators. Not sure if thats true or not, just passin on things i remember reading here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
