[QUOTE="maltaudio, post: 7967488, member: 643208"] Thanks for the replies guys. Appeciated. Judging on the replies, it seems the best way to go would be to upgrade to a HO alternator. Ghostowlgrid, the GM alternators you mentioned are not available where I live. I live in Malta (Europe), where GM trucks are not common. Also im not sure modifying alternators for the use of car audio is common practice, so much so that if I were to upgrade to an HO alternator, its safe to say I may be the only person on the island who has done such a thing since the majority of people who are into their car audio here use a capacitor to overcome any lack of alternator power. I did get a quick quote from a US HO alternator supplier and was quoted just under $500 for the alternator and shipping to Malta. Im thinking this may be the best route to go since I have yet to come across a European HO alternator supplier, which would be preferential as I wouldent have to pay import duty. [/QUOTE]
