[QUOTE="retrojordans, post: 7265586, member: 630134"] Well just to ballpark your ampere draw just take the fuse rating of the amp and divide it by 2...For example an amp that calls for a 250a ANL in line fuse will pull roughly 125 amps from the alt..Now that 175 amps is just for the amp...Not for everything else in the whole car, I'de need another stock level or higher alt to power the stock stuff in the car plus other added accessories. My understanding is you can have a high-end HO core re-cased into a case with different mounting holes. On common trucks like Escalades and Tahoes odds are the company that is making, and re-casing the Alts also either commissions the fabrication of, or offers prefab'd multi alt brackets. It's just the mounting holes unless custom brackets are offered, and then the pulley on the alt must fit the type of belt that is on whatever vehicle. You are going to want as many alt's as you can fit in the truck which is probably 4.
