Renegadesrun Silver Member Username: Renegadesrun Lafayette, IN US Post Number: 272 Registered: Oct-04	Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 01:42 GMT An alternator. Car audio revolves around the transference of power. Since automakers arent in the habit of overbuilding anything? If your adding anything beyond stock....yea, you need one, whether you, or the genuis poster above you thinks so. What you cannot see, will hurt your alt. It is the very FIRST thing you should buy when doing a high power system. There is NO substitute. All the batteries an caps in the world will not help you. Again. You MUST have power to make power. Period. More voltage means more power to the amps. A system with a 1000w@13.8a amp running with drops in the 11's will only be making around 600w or less. If you factor in impedence rise and resistance......even less. Sad, but true. The single very best thing you can do/buy, for a healthy system is to upgrade that POS alt that the car maker stuck you with. Noone said this was gonna be cheap. In fact, nothing about this hobby is, get used to it.
