Bigger Alternator

[metalhead6979]

So I'm working on a 67 Caddy Eldorado and I've decided to run a bigger alternator to run my system. Right now I have 2 amps at about 1800 watts between both of them running my sound, but still only have a 65 amp alternator... I found a 105 amp alternator that fits my car and I'm thinking about putting that in but need to know if that would be enough power?

Thanks for any help.

1800 RMS should have at least 140 amps I would say.

No second battery? I have a 130 amp alt that I'm about to have made into a 200. The Caddy doesn't have power everything like my 300m does though.

He should be ok with the 110 and another battery right? Being that a lot of his stuff might be manual.

Well yeah that's what I thought. The car doesn't have all the sensors and all that that cars now days need to ahve power to, so I figured if I put in a biger alternator in there it should be fine... I'm gonna try it with this other alternator and if that doesn't work, I'll get a bigger one... har har har.
