Time for higher output alternator?

i havent checked since then. everybody local keeps telling me to get a capacity but everybody here says it's useless. ill have to check the voltage in the morning.
if you have a cheap volt meter, go to a parking lot or somewhere were you can bump and see what kind of drops in voltage you get. anytime you get under 13 volts on the meter you know that your alt is struggling to keep up. i would experiment and turn your lights on, ac full blast, system up and see what you get;) doubt you alt will keep up though:veryhapp:

haha yea, i know the lights will dim like crazy and voltage will drop at full volume. my gains arent even turn more than half up. ill experiment with it later tomorrow. right now i should be getting to bed. stupid finals

ill be back tomorrow or after with the test on the voltage. night
