Whats a good replacement altenator for a s/c 00 GT with two amps and subs? The charging gauge started moving gradually to "L" before it just died. After a few minutes the car had a little juice for the accessories to come on. I had to get it towed 10 miles from home.

 

Do you have pullies by any chance? Im thinking of going to a 200amp alt.

 

pullies w/ a supercharger ?!?!?!

where did you get your alt. from?

 

Youll need to figure out what kind of current your audio system is pulling. You can find this out by AMPs = Volts (14.4) / Watts (your RMS rating total on your amps) then add 60 for your normal accessories to the total amperage pull.

 

You never Know. Could be your alt cant keep up with your system,what kind of amps do you have?

 

The altenator doesnt have an warranty and i am kind of broke so i am going to just put on a local parts store special. Anyone have an idea what a factory OEM price would be? And i probably ruined the Optima red topped battery too. I am going to get them both tested tomorrow and look into a capacitor for my sound system.

 

Capacitors are worthless. Get a 2nd battery in the back if you cant get a bigger alternator.

 

I had my Optima battery replaced today(36 month warranty). I installed the battery and cranked it up and the battery light is on but the charging system is ok. I am going to take the altenator off tomorrow and get it tested. ain10:
