[QUOTE="School bus, post: 6531149, member: 617460"] Hello I am new to building a car audio system and might have overdone it this time. I bought an alternator from excessive amps ( 250 amp) and installed it in my bus. I'm running two 2600 Watt Rms amplifiers driving two 15 Inch Subs. Both amps are running through a controller and are seperate, not wired together. I also installed in addition to the (2) two exsisting 850 amp batteries, two 3800 watt Kenetic batteries. After about a week my alternator went out. I mean I fried it completely. Diodes are gone and the rectifier is toast. I am thinking of adding a BATCAP 8400 model along with changing to two 350 amp alternators. Is this right or am I doing something wrong again... Help please... Thanks. JR [/QUOTE]
