your stock has got to be like 90amps or a little under

bigger wouldnt hurt depending on how much power you are running or wanting to run

Well, I think I'm going hands down with that motor city place. I can't see the competition beating 199 dollars for 200 amps. We'll see though ^^

well i don't know what my stock is i only said 150 b/c that's the size of the fuse for the alt. so wouldn't it be 150a then?

ive never used them personally but it may be one of those times you get what you paid for.

they may be great but i think it would be worth the extra 100 for some place that has a better reputation

motor city is trash. stay away from them.

Sorry, but I've never upgraded electrical. Do you basically add up all

the fuse ratings on your amps and look for that size or better alt?

So if I want to run an AQ2200D, that's 200 amps right there?

Or an SAZ-3000 that's 300 amps, I need a compition 300 amp

alternator?

And thats not even factoring in the 60 or so amps to run mids and highs?

Why are you wanting to go external regulator. On newer cars that internal regulator keeps your alternator from overheating. It controls the output to back off so it burn up. You can get the same thing for an internally regulated one and have the protection. Just courios.

i wasnt, i asked for a quote on a 250 amp and they gave me both internal and external

Jeeze isn't that a bit expensive? Got quoted for a 200 amp alt and they said 499 dollars! I thought they were going for like 299 tops.

you know, a stock c class mercedes alt is $702.00....
