Well, back on topic...I think there is a company called Ohio Generator or something like that, which specializes in high output alternators. I know a few people from various boards have upgraged to their alternators.

Has anyone tried the "Alterstart" alternators? I heard bad and good comments about them, but I'm not sure what to believe. They do offer a warranty on them.......any thoughts?

i forget some other ones......
how much power are you planning on running?
i'd do the big 3 upgrade first
i think you could also rewind your stock alternator, i don't know much about that though.

yeah i agree w/ Osamu, if u do the Big 3 Upgrade, and then maybe a new battery you should be alright. Also, i'm not sure, but i think Stinger makes a High Output Alternator as well.

the big 3 is http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/ult...c;f=5;t=007801
I don't really think a new alternator is needed....
i'm running a memphis 1000d, and st-300, so overall rated power of 1300W, with nothing besides a blue-top. I haven't even done the big 3, i was going to, but i barely even notice if my lights dim, so I didn't even feel that it was necessary.
But i don't play my music that aggesively, and some amps are more efficient than others, so if it'll put you at ease, i guess you could.
