[QUOTE="PanzerOPA, post: 8261864, member: 661026"] Okay so I've decided to replace the alternator and I'll go with a quality 170amp, combined with B3 wiring. I'd strongly like to avoid a heavy battery (this is a sports car so it's bad for weight dist.). Could I run something along the performance specs of a D34 Optima Yellowtop? I'd like to retain the factory battery position as well. I'm willing to learn here, not trying to ignorantly accept answers so I'd love to hear a little tech talk! Just don't drown me... Thanks for all help so far. I'm taking your recommendations into consideration. Crutchfield said just to add a second battery ([URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/p_122XP750CK/XS-Power-XP750CK.html#details-tab"]LINK[/URL]) and upgrade wiring when I spoke to them, which seems very backwards from what you guys recommend. So the people selling stuff recommend less, but you guys are offering free advice which suggests more. You all seem very knowledgeable so... Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
