[QUOTE="GotThemVibes90, post: 5723708, member: 607247"] also something to add. when buying a HO alternator? arent the looks an obvious difference? the MF that sold it to me, out of a shop in Louisiana or some shit, he said that he actually makes them there. the first one i got concerned me cuz it was the original casing and said delco on it.. and didnt look like the inside wiring was doubled up or anything, my friend told me that was a dead giveaway its no HO after immediatly seeing it, cuz hes a gearhead but... i hooked that thing up and fried it so fast youda shit ur pants laughing.. i chewed that MF out for this, cuz he already had VERY poor communication and took a week to even send it out. i had to go 2 weeks without a car while i returned this for another alternator. (this was summer of 08') i had then gotten the second alternator from him, it had the same original casing and looked stock. but i went ahead and i installed it and realized almost the same responses as the one i had fried. i decided to say **** it and put off my project for the longest time. well recently coming to this sight, i didnt know about changing your grounds out and other wires to 0ga (or the big 3). still having that same alternator in there, not knowing if its high output or not, i finally did my big 3 (kinda recent) also lets say it IS a HO alternator at 200A like it SHOULD be. would that have messed up the alternator in any way for not changing out wires to 0ga for pry about 6 months? but now recently adding the subs to my car and pounding them, finding the same situation AFTER i had done all my wiring and replacing to 0GA. that when i flip on my lights it seems to charge my batterys higher then 14.2. and when the bass hits the voltage drops as low as 8v cuz it cant keep up. do u think its truelly a junk alternator? bad parts in the alternator? possibly something wrong on my part? let me know please, also can ppl refer me some good places to get a HO Alternator. does anyone know from experience with how much power this equipment takes.. how big of a alternator i would need to take care of the problems? thanks [/QUOTE]
