[QUOTE="MECHMAN, post: 7869688, member: 595065"] If the 160 amp unit is in the original style housing, it is going to have pretty low output at idle, and will more than likely burn up. That style of rectifier was only designed for about 100 amps max. Another option would be to convert your stock alternator to run @ 16.8 volts (we charge $150 for the external regulator) and switch to XS power D1400's. You could then use the D1400's and external regulator in your next vehicle. You will get a lot more power out of the amp, and even though the alternator is undersized, you could stay in the 14 volt range at full tilt. (at least for a little while) The D1400's are a lot better quality than that Shuriken, also. [/QUOTE]
