You see bigger casings on ho alternators because they need larger brushes and internal components to push the extra amperage. I don't know who told you not to order from www.mralternator.com, but I used one of their alternators in my Cougar and had no problems whatsoever, I've seen others who also ordered from them and they were great, the shipping was fast, quality alternator all-around. Did put out the power it was rated for as well. If you get the right alternator, it will fit in your car as that is what it's designed for. Look on mr alternator and if it lists a 2000 Civic, then it will work. |

Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 681 Registered: May-04 | You should be o.k. with that alternator off that amp. It'll pull a over 100 amps, say 115 to be safe, leaving you a 20 amp reserve. Also, I doubt you'll ever use that amp to it's full capabilities, at normal listening levels I doubt it'll pull over 60-70 amps. |

Silver Member Username: JayjPost Number: 266 Registered: May-04 | Is your car FULLY loaded?? If so then I would recommend that you to NEVER run the system over half volume. With a 135 amp alternator. Oh yeah and that guy is crazy cause I was looking around on kickers web site and there was a guy that said he has a 200amp on his Civic. I would have to believe him because he had over 1200 watts of RMS power in their. |
