[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7614380, member: 567719"] You are most definitely not in the correct section, this should be in the wiring/electrical help section. As for your alternator, 1200w is not a crazy amount but still enough to be a heavy load on a stock alt, if you could find one somewhere around 140-150A that would be pretty decent but the problem I see is the gap between stock alt sizes and HO alt sizes. Generally stock alts only go up to around 110A, then HO alts start at like 180A, there's not much to pick from inbetween. Just remember, bigger is always better, so if you can afford it just take the plunge and get a nice alt (like a 200A) and you'll have plenty of headroom for future upgrades (which you will most likely do eventually). Do you have a price range? [/QUOTE]
