I was just wondering if anyone has a high output alt, and if so how many watts are you running, how many amps is your alt, where did you get it, how much $$, and how well does it perform... Thanks a lot for your help -Rick

 

Bump Nobody???

 

it usually cheaper to get your alty wound and rebuild and achieve the same thing.

 

Creative Designs is. I think Don may be a dealer for Ohio Generator?

 

Just out of curiosity what equipment are you running that warrants a HO alt?

 

I dont know you can do that...hmmm

 

yes you can alot of places do it. hence why alot of the companys that make ho require a core.

 

most "H/O" alternators are just upgraded GM ones and from what ive heard that dont seem to last that long maybe a year or two tops everyone i know who has gotten them they have died. If your running this big of a system and you need such a h/o alt i suggest you start with the BIG 3 method before purchasing a new alt

 

Two 12 inch si mags(require 2000+ watts)...and either focal k2ps or morel elates

 

Might change my mind about the subs though someones going to let me listen to there two arc 12's so not a definate on the subs but either way im probably going to need an alt my 1300 watts now make my lights dim slightly and i do plan on big three once i get the alt.

 

with all this being said, you do know that the lower the final impediance is the more stress it will put on your alternator/charging system. There is a big difference between 2 ohms and 4 ohms where as at 4 ohms the lights barely dimm.
