Would it be worth looking into getting a capacitor to help power my system |

New member Username: Qup2citAustralia Post Number: 10 Registered: May-05 | yeh i know what u mean. when i really listen to my system loud the alt wont keep up if i run my system for a while. do u think i should get a bigger alt or a second battery |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1918 Registered: Jan-05 | Either will help you're problem. If you added a second battery, investing in an isolater wouldn't be a bad idea. That would allow the second battery to power the system, and keep the 1st battery, the starting battery from running down. You're alt wouldn't be under quite as much stress. or you could just buy like a 250/300A alternator and not worry about it.:-) |

Bronze Member Username: Qup2citAustralia Post Number: 12 Registered: May-05 | yeh. i guess puttin a second battery would be easier. how much would a hi output alt like that cost roughly |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1919 Registered: Jan-05 | Depends on you're type of car, but a good $3/400. Take a look at www.4alterstart.com just to give you an idea. |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1923 Registered: Jan-05 | Yahe, 250/300 would be a little big, I was just using that as an example,:-) and there is always room for upgrading.:-) |
|
Silver Member Username: Addicted2bassMiami, FLORIDA USA Post Number: 738 Registered: Nov-04 | yeh thats true....and then he doesnt have to worry about about another alternator...So yeh do what taylor said if you have the money. |
