volvo alternator or extra battery. help

[crunch5868 10+ year member]

I just bought the aq2200D and i either need a new alt or another battery in the back. I would rather an alt but i have looked everywhere and cant find one, if anyone knows where or how to get a 200amp + alt for a volvo id really appreciate it. Plan b is the extra battery, do i just get one like a yellowtop or odyssey and do i need an isolator?

Would i be okay with a regular battery in the front and one yellowtop in the back.

i have a couple kinetik 2000s

i could probably sell one for that price or maybe lower

no thanks but i am actually looking at the HC600 now. im not going overboard on this only because I am on a budget but do you think a 2nd yellowtop or HC600 could push the aq2200D?

The aq2200d dose have a small footprint but i would go with alt and a batt and big 3

well i would rather upgrade my alt but i cant find any for a volvo. i would love one though

there are usually small companies that can take your pre existing alt and beef it up for like 100-200 dollars, but when they do that it usually doesn't charge at idle... or charges very little...

I called around to different companies online seeing if they could make a custom one to fit and then one guy told me that they dont make aftermarket ones at all for my volvo which makes sense after all the failed searching ive done. Seemed like a good company and we agreed that the universal alternator is pretty close to my stock one. Here it is its 105 amps at idle and 220 at 1200rpm and up. Will that be enough? heres the universal one: http://www.powerbastards.com/default.asp
