My alt. recently died on me. I had a system in my car, but its only 2 12" subs and a Memphis 500.1 amp, along with speakers and a head unit. But thats the only amp. Could the alt. dying be from my system or just the car being old? Anyone else experienced this problem?

 

Alternators die from age, abuse (too many gizmos) and because of poor rebuilding. If your original alternator just failed, that's just from age more than anything else.

 

alright, thanks guys

 

I still have the original alternator and starter on my 95SE bought new. I replaced the original battery in April 2003. I have no electrical or sound mods.

 

The stock alternator died 2 weeks after I bought the MAX, luckily I had Warranty on it but I still saw it as a bad sign...

dexter, did u have nething in it or was it all stock???

 

Still on my stock alternator. Approaching 200k. Battery had to be changed about 4 years ago. Panasonic HU and a 50x4 amp.

 

as far as I know all stock when bought (last November), battery was pretty bloated and had to have it replaced too.

never replaced

 

My '95 Max w/ 169,000k is still on its original alt.

 

Replaced it twice so far since April. The second one was a poor rebuild.

 

I havent had a problem with my yet. I have 2 10's hooked up with like an 800w amp. I replaced a starter not to long ago, but no alternator problems yet.

 

My original alternator died this pat winter. I didn't have any audio mods at the time. But, we are talking about a 10 year old part, they die, it's a part of life.

 

same here but february.....this one seems to be doing fine

 

i believe i had to put a new alternator in my '97 maxima at 91000 miles, luckily it was under warranty still

 

Alternator on my '99 died at about 76,000 miles, 5.5 years old. No system in my car. They just go bad sometimes.

 

mine was all stock also

 

My stock alt. on my 95 just died a couple weeks ago. So i bought a 200amp one from can-am but haven't finished installing it. Still trying to figure out and get help with the wiring cuz it's not excactly plug and play.

 

mine is the original, havent had a problem since.
