High output alternator question.

[insanepagen]

Hello all, I have a 2004 PT Cruiser Convertible Touring Edition with a turbo engine. I have done the "big 3" upgrade and put in an Odyssey deep cycle battery. I have an Alpine mrx-v60 amplifier installed. I also have a Tsunami hybrid capacitor installed. All my power wires are 0 gauge. My problem is my headlights dim to the beat of the music. I know I need a high output alternator and I found one on ebay for $198.00 with free shipping. I was just wondering if its a good brand. It's a mitsubishi. The item number is : 280678256687. Thanks for your help in advance!!

Call DC Power, Ohio Gen, or maybe Mechman for your alt needs, they will be a little more pricey but believe me you want good quality on your alt build
