Alternator frequent replacement

thanks. It has always been my suspicion all along that the extra power pull by the higher end audio system and subwoofer was a possible culprit
You can upgrade to a 130 amp alternator. Just make sure you upgrade the main power wire to accommodate the additional load. Keep in mind the alternator will only put about 70 percent of its maximum idle. Caution against sitting at the beach with the engine at idle and the music cranked up to 10.
thanks, or as us old guys would say, lets turn it up to 11!
If 130 amps is not enough, police cruisers routinely come with 225 amp alternators to power all the lights, sirens, radio, computers, etc. If that is not large enough, tell Jr. to get a very long extension cord and plug it in when he drives off.
thanks all, gonna cut the cord and just have him install Mr Fusion!
