Need a new Alternator I need some help


Recommended Posts

Alright so i have a 97 blazer and the stock alt isnt recharging my battery enough so i cant even run my subs and its at 500watts and im about to put another 500watts in for an L5 and if it isnt running what i have it sure as hell wont run what i wana put in. but like what happens is that ill be going and it just shuts off but the meter in my car goes down so I figure either my alt isnt strong enough and its a 105 stock , or my battery just is that shitty but what i want to do is get a 150amp alt or 160 . then im getting a kenetik battery

Okay im going to put this info down for people who want to help me out. I just checked my Battery and its putting out 14 volts when the car runs with out anything else running as in my sound system. So im guessing i need to get a bigger alt i was thinking 150 sound good?

Get a big battery for the rear....I ran ~2000wrms off my stock alt with a good battery under the hood and a hc2400 in the back and didn't drop any lower than 12.6v at idle....and dropped to 13.6v driving....

and not until I ran about ~3500wrms off my stock alt with 3 batteries.....did I drop into 11.6v

So I should get a battery and put it into the back of my car and that should fix it ? let me throw this info in too b.c it is a big thing i guess , when i got this car the dealer was a shitty place and they needed to put a new battery in new tire rods and some balljoints and i think they went cheap on the battery b,c its nothing great and i think that the amp hours just arnt what they used to be. so i was thinking like an optima yellow top to replace it

i run 3000 rms off a stock 90 amp alt LOL.. it does ok for most songs.. but i dont blast it full blast all day either.. Just change your main battery, put another one in the back and you should be fine *I think... and do the big 3
