So as the title says I'm thinking about upgrading my alt. Mine has gone out literally 3 times in the past 3 weeks and I honed the problem down to a melted down connection within my fuse box. I ordered a whole new fuse box and will replace it before I either 1. replace my alt with oem or 2. buy a h/o and have my installer put it in. You see I have a pretty large audio system in the car and have the xs power d6500 and my alt just can't keep up.
I have a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.8L VR6 and I need something that will fit and work well with my vehicle. I was looking at this... but don't know very much about alternators. I also emailed mechman for a quote but they haven't gotten back to me. I'm really tired of dumping $300-500 in repairs into my car every week... but i guess thats the price i pay for a good audio system.
Will 180amps (max output) be enough for my 2k watt rms system? Is this a good brand?
