I see a lot of Mechman and DC power. I've met Matt, he's a good guy.

if you are looking into alts. excessive amperage and singer alternators are both solid. but dc and ohio gen are the big names now.

I can actually get a very good deal on EA alts, so that's probably who I'll wind up going with.

Ohio Generator has been a big name, and an expensive one, for decades now. They were the alts I drooled over when I was just getting into car audio.

I have an Iraggi 200amp and a mechman 260. Have yet to power up either one tho, so I cant comment on their products. Ive spoken to Iraggi a few times over the years, seemed like a good guy. But that doesn't mean anything I suppose, I dont doubt the stories about his business practices.

Are both of those alts for the same vehicle?

They could be, both are the standard full-size GM cases. They were purchased at diff times for diff vehicles though. I honestly dont remember why I bought a second alt when I still had a brand new one sitting around.

There are/were many threads about Iraggi alts failing too, so it wasn't just his business practices that gave him a bad name.

Well I guess what I should ask is if anyone has tried him since he opened back up.

True, Ive heard some negative feedback over his products as well.

I spend too much time ramming my g/f in the pooper.

But seriously, besides that... first one was for a project Ive since abandoned, and the second was for my dd truck that was totaled a week before I had the stereo install completed.

You should send those two alts to me so I can do some testing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

***** about the truck though, looked nice.

Well that didn't take long, he got a F.

That F rating isn't good. I was thinking about giving Mechman a try the next time I am in the market for a HO alternator because he has one that seems to make a decent output for my 2006 Mustang GT.

I should knock on wood when I write this because I just had my stock alternator rewound by a local shop in 2008 and it held up much better than I thought it would. Now that I mentioned that, it will probably burn up the next time I start the car.
