Default Underdrive Pulleys

would installing underdrive pulleys have any effects on my cd player/radio or any other electronic components?

It takes power away from your accessories and feed the engine resulting in more horsepower. So yes, but its not going to be noticable unless you have a stereo system that draws a good amount of current.

If its your stock stereo, no, I highly doubt it.

Now if you have, say, amps, subs, and a ATX Jackhammer, then yes, it probably will take too much power away from those.

Like they said, stock stuff...no problem. I fyou have high-end crap then you would need a bigger alternator with UDP's.

Ive heard of people killing their alternator by adding on the pullies. If I ever did underdrive pullies, id leave the stock alternator pulley on.
