Then a deep cycle battery and capacitor after that, if you feel like putting the money into it. You need the alternator first thing since you're pulling so many Amps. If you try to turn that thing up, you'll definately sag your voltage and clip the heck outta your poor triple X. And we don't want to see you have to buy another one.  |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 185 Registered: Oct-04 | Alternators are rated in Amps. If you need an alternator, you should talk to a company who manufactures them, and they will tell you what model you need. You will probably want around a 150A alternator. More depending on what you're running. www.mralternator.com www.4alterstart.com |

Anonymous | do you think a 180 watt one would be enough, is too much amps bad? |
