I posted here because Its an overall system I'm needing help with making. Hope thats ok. Car is a 1987 Cadillac Brougham. I have a really good factory head unit which I would like to keep, mostly because I plant to keep it looking original. My question is, I want to buy some good speakers...

^ THIS! This is helpful to the OP! Like I said, your not limited to a GM alternator or a custom HO alternator. There are options! Something along those lines. But the amps are better than that. But then again, that is hard to measure, And that is at max output nonstop. Read below my reply...

Yah, this thing is brand new, hardly used. I even contacted Pioneer about it because of this and the fact that it only showed up when the car sat for several days at a time with a full battery. I told them about this defect in the unit that I otherwise would have never noticed. They said...

That is kinda sad to hear. You get someone who takes care of the unit and then it fails after about 2 years because it was built cheap in some aspects, then they are SOL and the manufacturer will not own up to the lack of quality because its been over 1-2 years...fail It is sad that this is the...

If I am correct, they will be under different part numbers and different division listings, because the GM europe division is different. What about ebay? You might be able to get away with buying one on ebay with paypal? The CS130 and CS144 were only examples, you have to search around at...

But he is not using the maximum 1500 watts? The CS130 105 amp is a standard design that I gave a few references to. The Higher output CS130 Alternators do overheat kinda fast, and they do not las as long as the 105 Amp version, they just get to hot. That is why I went to the CS144 140 Amp...

The battery was never removed, its in the car all the time, I just attach a trickle charger to maintain the voltage so the battery does not die when the car sits... And it is working, I check it with the meter, something like 13.4 volts without the charger. It is not overcharging either, I...

Well it depends, at some point, the batteries will have to be charged back up is the alternator can not keep up with the demand. Are you willing to ad an extra battery and charge the car up at home if needed? Or do you want to get a higher amperage alternator which will not require a second...

Well it depends, lets explore: 1) You have one 12 volt battery with enough juice to run your audio with car running for at least 15-30 minutes, then your car can't hold a charge anymore. 2) You have two 12 volt batteries with enough juice to run around an hour or so. Then your car can't hold...

Hello yall. I own the DEH-P7200HD Pioneer head unit. I bought it about 2 years ago and install it. I installed 2 front alpines 4 ohms each and 2 rear sony xPlodes 4 ohms each. Then RCA goes to thhe rear Monoblock alpine amp 300Watt RMS output which powers 2 DUAL 12" Subs in a box. Each is 8...
