I know it is a Honda motor, but am unfamiliar with alternators and stuff like that. Would say an accord H/O alt or Civic alt work for my acura? Or.. I just can't seem to find one. |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 740 Registered: May-06 | I cant go expensive =/ Do you think my alt is my problem if my lights dim at volume 8 on my kx1200.1. My battery died once due to my subs, but hasnt happened since, i put the gain down a little and continued playing at high volumes, but my lights still dim. Is this something I should be concerned about. Also, there is this local ma and pa shop that specifys in alternators, they rebuilt my friends. Is it possible if i take them mine (110a) they can 'rebuild' it and by doing so, make it say a 180a alt, or is this just impossible? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/180amp-Iraggi-Alternator-82-95-Honda-Acura_W0QQcm dZViewItemQQcategoryZ33573QQihZ019QQitemZ7959076285QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Idk what is good or bad for idle amperage. How does this look? but it is still a bit pricey. Keep in mind, my amp is only a kx1200.1. |
