I assume I need a bigger alternator?

[Sayajin]

Hey guys. Sorry I am not sure exactly where I should post this but I figured here might be the best place. Here is my question, I am going to run 2 amps for my stereo system, one 800watt Rockford and 1 550 Power Acoustics. I also of course have a very large cap, sorry not sure exact size, I assume that I will need a bigger alternator since I am going to be pulling so much power, but I am not sure what size I should get? Wondering if you guys could offer any advice? If this is the wrong forum I apoligize and feel free to move this. Thanks.

no you can still use the stock alternator...but use atleast a 1 farad cap for your system and you will be fine...

Also make sure you have no Power Steering Fluid leaks on your Alt - that will kill it in a Hearbeat & can toast your ECU...

Just had my Bumper to Bumper guy look up the Highest Amp Mitsu Alternator that would fit a 1G - Mine was about $150.00 - I run a 1 Farad Cap too with an El-Cheapo Battery.

- Max amperage 121 amps

- 100 amps at 3000rpm

- Max 1548 watts

- Manufacturer Ampere - P/N 21491

I put it on ramps & come from underneath - It's a PITA .

Cool. Can you give the the place where you bought it and the model number of it? Becuase I will probably just go ahead and do that. Thanks.
