DUB Unregistered guest | Alright, I am planning on getting a 200 amp alternator(is 200 amps good enough?), will a capacitor help out at all with a 200 amp alternator? I have read that when your car is on the amp takes power from the alternator, when your car is off the amp takes power from your battery. Would a cap help that? ONE more things, where are some good places on the net to buy and look at alternator prices? |
