4 burned up alternators in less than 6 months
1990 Honda Civic EF hatchback. Bone stock except 1400 watt amp and small jvc aftermarket radio.
i don't know what's going on. First alternator the wires inside bunt to a crisp. Second alternator did the same thing a couple months later. Third alternator the Voltage regulator burned out and lights would get extremely bright when I give the vehicle gas. Now this 4th alternator the Voltage regulator burned up again.
this has all happened in the span of 6 months.
I want to believe the amp and subwoofer is doing it. But then I have a few friends with the same EF with bigger amps and subs than mine and they aren't having this issue.. I've checked the power wire and it's not grounding out anywhere. I've changed the ground from the battery to chassis and battery to block with a thicker higher quality wire. I need help. This is getting old quick.
and changing out the alternator wouldn't be such an issue if they didn't make it to where it doesn't come out without moving the air intake out the way.
