130 amp HO alt

[myjaja 10+ year member]

I just bought a 130 amp HO alt for my 96 honda accord. I'm running around 200 amps worth of stuff in my trunk with a second battery. The voltage drops down to 11.8. Will I see a huge difference by changing my factory alt to this new 130 amp alt? Is their anything I have to upgrade when adding the new one?

Oh yeah, my factory wires that connect to the alt and the battery look around 4g. Do I have to add on new ones?

what did you have before ?

I don't even know the size of it. Its probably 90 amps? I'm not sure, its the factory honda alt.

I would certainly try upgrading the big 3 with 0 gauge

Yeah... I'm gonna need to do that. But would it be alright if I did it with 4 gauge?

thnx

I would use 0 gauge if you're putting in 200amps worth of stuff

Alright, but 0 gauge is expensive though.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

lol... thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

edit: am I gonna fuse the batt + to alt with a 200 amp fuse? or something bigger?

0 gauge is expensive...but not as expensive as replacing vehicle electronics, or amplifiers, or alternators.

Save a little more money...then do it right the first time...can't tell you how much money I wasted over the years upgrading my stuff every friggin' year or two.

looks like stock is 80A. 50A of untouched current is a HEEEELLL of a lot of music power.
