LordArcane Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 you'll prolly want to do the big 3 upgrade also to take advantage of the bigger amp alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared420 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 depends on the company you buy the alternator from, iraggi, dc alts, theres a bunch out there that people run on the forum. but its all gonna cost around $300 or so. 300 for just the alternator or alt and battery? also how hard is it to put in one of those alternators, would i need it professionally done?

alvitae Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Not a fan of capacitors myself. Even of they do help there are better and cheaper ways to go. The cheapest electrical upgrade you can do is the big 3. It's usually where you start. The one here is my favorite big 3 tutorial.

LordArcane Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 300 for just the alternator or alt and battery? also how hard is it to put in one of those alternators, would i need it professionally done? most alts are 2 bolts main to take it off bolt for power wire and a plug on the back its pretty easy to do if but if you don't feel you can do it yourself prolly best to have someone to do it for you friend that works on cars alot or pro as for price not sure myself i still run stock alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvitae Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 So basically just thicker wire from the alt to battery? and this will help with voltage drop and put out more power? That and upgrading grounds. People that are new to audio frequently underestimate the grounds. It is just as if not more important than power I've found. I've got my biggest gains, And also biggest headaches from the grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 So basically just thicker wire from the alt to battery? and this will help with voltage drop and put out more power? - Positive from battery to positive from alternator - Negative from battery to ground - Engine block to ground not put out more power per se, but making your electrical system more efficient...which in turn would put out more power yea lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
