Ebay is where I found mine

Ebay is a good place but often doesn't have everything. I personally ordered my alternator through Mralternator.com. That is a really good site, and all of the alts come with a lifetime warrentee. They are also cheaper than just about anything else as well.

upgrading is a must, I had mine made buy pasco, it is a 150amp alternator with an underdrive pulley putting out more than that

i went to that site and they only make up to 120 amp alternator for my 91 honda accord. ARe there any other sites out there?

check for Ohio Generator, but I dont remember the site off hand

Do a search on yahoo for high output alternators. The only problem is if you are lookin for somethin big like 200 amps then you are gonna run like 500 dollars most likely

i've got my system running from a 5-farad stinger cap. It's powereed by a stinger battery, which is used only for this reason(Yes, i got 2 batteries).

Is there any reason to change my alternator??

upgradeing you alt will supply your batteries and amps with more current

I went to my local shop and they said for $200 they wound upgrade my 105A alt. to a 180A and 80A @ idel. This was better thay any deal I have found. Check your local shops and see what they can do.

So a new alternator that gives out more current.....will give more current to my audio equipment.

So does this added current help in the performance of my audio equipment?? Will the sound quality be better?? Will i get more DB's from upgrading the alternator??

Thanks

yes a LARGER alternator will produce more current into the system, it will definatly make a difference, but Sound quality will not be affected, but Sound Pressure Level or SPL will, with more current you can produce more power and more power means more SPL //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

okay im gonna go with the 150 amp alternator for the honda from ebay. I checked his feeback and 99 percent is positive. My question now is do you think i can install it myself? Is it worth the money to pay someone to do it?
