Go to www.mralternator.com to look at alternators for your vehicle, you'll need a 200 amp alternator if you plan to run all three amps and drive them hard. |

Another prob is if you keep the stock alt and get a bigger/second batt, by the time the batt gets half life, it will start damaging the stock alt, pushing it too hard (the alt also charges the batt when the car is running. |

daniels ghey jeep Unregistered guest | buy 17 power capacitors and wire them in paralell that will sort you out |

Silver Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 185 Registered: Apr-04 | Gee, man, that will also drain the battery out... Even with the engine off... |

Bronze Member Username: GodemichePost Number: 27 Registered: Jun-04 | HAHA,, 17 capacitors?? humm, lets see,,, the avg cap is about $80... 80 x 17 = $1360..... haha you could buy about 6 or 7 HO alternators for that but only need 1 to fix your problem at the source.... |
