Bronze Member Username: Illwill577Post Number: 20 Registered: Jan-06 | i just got a High Output 200 Amp Alternator and wanted to know if it will power my system well.. i got a kx2500.1 amp 2500 rms and a 1000w amp for my speakers and tweeters and the alternator is Output at idle = 95 amps. Maximum output of 200 amps is achieved at 1200 rpm. i want to know if i should get another battery or a capacitor. should i replace my stock battery and if i should a yellow top or red top. please give me tips. |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 401 Registered: Mar-04 | Matt, you SHOULD be fine. Stephen, I have to question your amp being a REAL 1000w. The biggest common 4 ch are typically 100x4, 400x2 bridged. The fosgate p8004 for example - that's RMS power. In looking through amps at the bassbin the REN-1000w looks more like a 50x4 amp than a 250x4 amp. Unless you have an unusually small alternator (<50A) I can't see you having any problems. |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 402 Registered: Mar-04 | I'm sure they exist, but I don't think it would be a stretch to say they're rare. If you google search "renegade 1000w" I think you'll quickly understand my doubt that it's a real 1000w amp. |

stephenlawes2006 Unregistered guest | thanks guys really apricitate the reply. only the other day i was just drivin the car and the battery sign kept coming on and every time i slowed down my car stalled. so i turned the CD player of and left it for half an hour and everything seemed fine. so am i able to get a power cap just to be on the safe side. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 409 Registered: Mar-04 | sounds like you may in fact have an unusually small alt, if that's the case a cap will do nothing to help. All a cap does is store charge from the alternator. If your alt is already insufficient the cap may only make it worse. |

stephenlawes2006 Unregistered guest | do u know anywere in the uk i can get better alternaters from |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 433 Registered: Mar-04 | ebay uk lists a couple, but I don't see anything that looks like a substantial upgrade. It looks like that car may use a mitsubishi brand alt, if that's the case you may be able to find a larger mitu alt from a different vehicle that will work. You might try to find a renault forum and see if someone can help you. |
