HHR Ed Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 what car do you have? 100A is about what stock alternators are.

Get something over 130amps. I have a 100amp alt and it isnt big enough, so i went with a 220 amp alt Quote jrplayer36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHR Ed Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 my factory alt is 120A I wouldnt go through the trouble unless its 200A or up. but for a 1000w system, you dont need one, just do a nice battery and better wiring.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 ^imo i would get one a little higher,will make life easyer x3, he is probably just telling you what the replacement option is for your car, I dont think Autozone sells anything but direct replacement parts, so basically you will be getting an alt that put out the exact same your current one puts out, Hit up MechMan or DC Power Rob, and they will hook you up.

hitman45400 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 volvo 850. and i was thinking of it because a yellow top there is like, 200, and i could get a bigger alt and keep the same battery and be able to get a 2k plus system down the road.. and i have no idea what the stock output is now..

Marlo Stanfield Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Call up Ohio Gen if you're in the market for an HO alt, you won't regret it.
