I've never heard of anyone running dual alternators...ever.


If you're going to spend all the money on the electronics, you might as well spend the money on one high-output alternator and do it right (and the easier way from my perspective). What do you mean by ridiculously priced?

 

x2

What price have you been quoted for a high output alternator and what is it rated at?

 

they were like 500 - 750

^ Less than $300 and more than equal to two stock alternators

 

just by a high amp alternator, a stock one is like 70 amps, so buying ^^ that 190 amp puts out more power than two stock ones

 

Gotta pay to play.


After you went and bought another OE style alternator, fabricated a bracket, and then matched up a belt to top it off you could've already bought and installed the direct replacement high-output alternator.

My vote is for the high-output alternator, obviously haha.

 

just wondering will that hurt your mpg it seems like running a high output amp could affect mpg...

 

i dont know if u have the same style shops where u live but in my area u can get ur stock altenator rebuilt and set the amp at the shop for around 75 dollars. I worked great worked at a local stereo shop for awhile alot of people had this done

 

It is possible that a minor change could occur, but I am sure that most people installing high output alternators are more worried about their equipment. Besides, the big MPG robber wouldn't be the alternator, it would be the hundreds of pounds of electronic/sound equipment.
