Clocksta Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Well, i got an 03 Oldsmobile Alero and well, i dont know where/how to find out the amp of my stock alternator but my guess is roughly around 100 or so? if so..What are my capabilities with it? i'm working on saving for my set up which will be between 2k-3k RMS, possible?

Stephen Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 what motor does you car have? i think its a 105a Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be. DC POWER

Clocksta Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Posted October 11, 2008 So would i be able to run say, 4000 watts on my alternator? or do i need to find a better 1? Quote
tudski Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 i used to have a 99 alero sam engine 4cyl and i had around 1000rms and it was aright like not dimmin or anything... awsome car tho my sister has it now and it still has that system goin strong... but i dont know about 3000rms might have to keep the rpms up and maybe big 3 and extra bat?

Clocksta Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Posted October 11, 2008 yeah, figured 3k-4kwatts with big three and extra battery should be fine but dont know, dont want flashing head lights going down the road Quote
tudski Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 yeah i think it would... like the alt is actaully decent on that car i think you will be fine with the 3 and a second bat Quote 1996 deville on 18" full face rims -2 gauge wire. -a2400db -RE SE-X in a 4ftc box tuned to 32hz -tview touch double din -rockford punch 6x9s(rear) -mtx 6.5(front) front and rear stage will soon be changed build log will start as soon as it aint cold!
Dr. Johnson Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 I disagree I do not think it would be sufficient. 4000 watts is a lot of power. I have a HO alt and big three and 1/0 cable with under 2000 watts and it is very noticeable with it cranked at 45mph. my voltage drops alot. I do not think what you are wanting to do is wise. but you know what its your car..... Quote
Derrick824 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Yes you will need a bigger alt. Quote
