If you are using a capacitor why would you need a bigger alternator. Isnt that the purpose of a cap. so your amps dont draw from your alt.

But dont they draw really slowly to keep from frying the alt.

Do you think that running two RF 800.2 would fry an alt. Its not really that much power.

It will eventually kill it. I'm running just 1 RF P8002, and a RF P4004 and my lights dimn like a mofo.:-) If I had 2 P8002's my alt wouldn't be able to handle it for verry long.
I would recomend getting an HO alt.
