Do i need ?
Monday, June 18, 2007 10:56 PM
ok well i been lookiing into new high output Alternators. but my question is do i need one ? what i got so far is.
6x9 s in the rear
Kicker L7 12
Alpine 500w amp.
Flip up screen tv.

what i plan to add soon.
door speakers and a amp for the rears and front speakers.

now my question is do i really need a higher Alternator?

Can i Get away with just getting mine rebuilt for 40$. and just upgrade my battery to a yellow top.

Is a yellow top a good idea?

No
I've got an MRD-M1005, 1000W Alpine Mono amp and it's fine.
The only thing I notice is the lights dim and the idle jitters when I'm listening. I can almost guarantee that most of that would go away if I did the Big 3.

The only things that are really drawing enough power to make a difference is the amps. The headunit/tv doesn't really draw enough power to make or break the decision.
