I'm getting a 2002 Mitisbishi Galant and was wondering if i HAVE to upgrade my alternator cuz i know right now it has 3.0 L V6 and the stock alternator is 85A. If i do need a new alternator what are some good sites to find some i tried to look on Iraggi for a galant alternator but i cant find any at all. I have 2 Kicker 12" l7s with the kicker zx1500.1 amp which says it does like 1769 watts.

If you have it all hooked up already, do your lights dim quite a bit? Are they quick to get back up to standard brightness?

Do your big 3 upgrade first, and see how your voltage does then.

If its still dropping a lot, then upgrade your alternator.

Contact Iraggi and ask him if he can make one for your vehicle, or contact Nate at Excessive Amperage.

Iraggi and EA will be your best choice. Theres other companies out there but "I" don't know if you're willing to pay that type of price. Big 3 is.

Alt To batt +
Batt - to car chassis
Engine block to car chassis

I'm sorry but that seriously made me laugh out loud :-)

Big 3 is upgrading the WIRING from the things that Berny listed above.

Hahaha that was good :P

Definitely do your big 3 right away, and then see how your voltage is after that.

I recommend you email Dom at Iraggi and ask if he can build an alt for your car.


Failing that, I would recommend contacting www.ohiogen.com . They make the best quality alternators out there, but they have price tags to match.
