[joshualittle]

i am not spending more than $250 on an alt. I need something that is around 140 amps. i know **** about alternators so bare with me.

I have to still have money left to buy my new subs and amp as well

Not sure. I think you'll need at least 200-225.

for 2500 rms? I run about 1600 with my setup now on stock 95 amp alt.

I know the 200+ alternators are much more expensive which is why i am trying to stay away from them.

150-175 is my guesstimate

ok, i need one for $250 now, i don't want to do the shopping later, i need to figure out now so i can buy it as soon as i get the money.

I have no idea where to go to find them though

I don't know 2500 watts is a good amount. I'd take out a loan and do it right the first time. What kind of subs and amps u gonna run end of days?

i run a zx1500 and a zx850.4 so roughly 2200rms with no big 3 stock 130amp alt, 1000amp duralast acid battery upfront with a run of 1/0 power and run of 1/0 ground to the back battery that is a stinger spv70 and at idle full tilt at amp drops to low 12's thats it so not bad i guess

and thats with the 2 grounds done on the big 3 so just no alt to batt done
