Will this do the job?

[CodyDaGoat]

I'm looking to upgrade to a high output alternator, as my 2 15" 750W RMS are really doing work on my stock stuff.

I notice they can go anywhere from $150-400 for a high output one.

I am on a tight budget, and won't have $300+ to spend anytime soon.

no, it'll be weaker than your stock alt.

Never EVER get an ebay alt.

Even though it's an ebay one. THis one is remanufactured and going for $180. I assume when it was new that it probably cost a lot more and is way better quality then the previous one?

I wouldn't trust an alt brand I'm unfamiliar with. In due time should you buy it, and is out of warranty, bam your out 200 bucks then your fucked.

What specific vehicle is it for? SUV's typically carry a fairly high amperage alt. Yous may be fine, but your experiencing other issues. Also....the big 3 will be very helpful in your situation.

If you have time search classifieds for a used one if your on a budget

It's a popular car so there should be some reputable brands floating around

Some of the lesser expensive brands would be Custom Electric Services (facebook only), Excessive Amperage, and possibly Apex.

If you're on a tight budget I would ask them first.

Don't buy an ebay alt. We know how they perform and quite simply they don't.
