Bronze Member Username: 69vwvanWinamac, Indiana USA Post Number: 17 Registered: Aug-05 | i have a 92 mustang hatchback and right now im only running about 510 watts rms in it (350 into 2 subs and 160 into 4 speakers). At night, my light dim and my voltage drops down about 2-3 volts. Im going to upgrade my subs to a sx soon running a kicker 600.1 to it. I was wondering what size of alternator i would need. Im gonna upgrade the alternator soon and i found a good deal on a 140 Amp. Would the be enough for the kicker and the 160 watts i have running to my speakers or owuld i need to get a higher amperage? I think my stock alternator is 65 amps. |

Bronze Member Username: 69vwvanWinamac, Indiana USA Post Number: 19 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok. Ill save you to my account. Just to let you know my mustang is a 2.3L 4 cyl. Ill probably be able to come with the money in about a week or two. I'll email you then. |

Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 328 Registered: Jul-05 | Nathan, It's a 1992 SR5 4-Runner with the 3VZ-E V6 engine. You told me once before that you could build a 200A for me, but it would require wiring and bracket mods. I'm not too confident in my modifying ability. I would love to get the 200A instead of the 160A, but I also want to be able to install it myself. |
