Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 967 Registered: Oct-06 | well with my gain all the way down i dont understand why it is pulling so much power from my alt. i will look into a HO alternator |

Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 968 Registered: Oct-06 | what size ho alt should i get? i got quoted $350 for a 200 amp, and $405 for a 225 amp. are those good prices? would it be cheaper to bring my alternator somewhere and have it rewired for more amps? if so what kind of shop does that? |

Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 970 Registered: Oct-06 | do you think a 200 amp alt would be sufficient for a 1200rms system? i will be doing big 3 in all 0 gauge wire. |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10138 Registered: Jul-06 | Those shops that claim to rebuild your alternator are crap. A 200 amp along with a good battery can support a very large demand yes. I have one and a 3000w amp. |

Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 971 Registered: Oct-06 | can anyone vouch for excessive amperage alternators?? they want 350 for a 200 amp. and i have a quick question on the big 3...can i do 1) alt bracket to battery - terminal. 2) battery - to ground. 3) positive alt to battery +? would that work for all three upgrades? |

DB Electrical and MCR build high quality reliable alts. And people seem to like mechman but I can't vouch for those. And yes you can wire it like that. |
