[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7852357, member: 631325"] I'd say your best bet is to: 1. Get a different vehicle 2. Run less power.... or 3. Contact (not Mechman or DC), Excessive Amperage, Ohio Generators, Singer. I've head great things from EA, Ohio, and Singer. Why I don't recommend Mechman: Bad business practices, I've seen too many things handled poorly. Fwiw, their alts have always had good reviews, when they do work and fit. Why I don't recommend DC: Really really really slow build time for a lot of customers. I've seen so many people saying they took several months to get their alternator from them. I've also seen people saying it only took a couple weeks. Again, always heard great things about their alternators when they finally do get them. Oh, and I'd recommend a ~300a alt if you're just running music daily. Even if you're running it full blast for comps, you're gonna need a battery/capacitor bank anyways. It's just a guesstimation, but I think 300a could be sufficient for moderate use with music. [/QUOTE]
