Bronze Member Username: HeadutterPost Number: 46 Registered: Jul-05 | I have a Cadillac seville with a Northstar engine. I went to a place that supplies and repairs alternators. They said the stock alternator is all that will fit in the tight space with that engine. The stock alternator is 140 AMP. Does anyone know what the draw is from these amplifiers: JBL 1201.1, JL1000/1, Hifonics 1505D, or Soundstream TR880/2? Any recomendation of any others with this kind of clean power that draw less? |

Bigger amp alternator (HO alternator) doesn't mean bigger size.. go to www.excessiveamperage.com and talk to Nathan, he will build one for you. |
