Where to find a bigger alternator?

[BoNkA10]

I'm most likely going to need a bigger alternator for my car for the new amp I'm putting in this spring, but I can't seem to find a decent site to look at some. Maybe I'm not searching for the right stuff, but I need some help. Looking for at least 130 amps. Any help is appreciated.

u most likely won't need a bigger alternator.....you might need a bigger battery but i would try getting a capacitator. if that doesn't do it then try getting one of those optima yellow top batteries.

Capacitors are crap. I've been reading up on an audio forum and I'll basically need a new alternator. Already have a bigger battery (though I may still need a bigger one).

By the way, anyone know what the stock alternator is rated at? I'm assuming 90 amps.

well I don't know what audio form that you're on but everyone that I know that has a capacitator, it works awesome for them. you'll most likely need a bigger battery because the reason the alternator is on the car is to charge the battery when the battery supply gets to a point low enough that it cannot supply the car with the power it needs so then the alternator kicks in, otherwise it's the battery that actually feed's the car with the "voltage" it needs.

the stock alternator is rated at 75 amps (u.s)

CarAudio.com - Basically the capacitor is looked at like a bandaid because the rest of your electrical system isn't set up correctly.

Anyways, I'd still like to find a site to be able to check some of these out.

any online audio store should have one and you could even try e-bay, i've gotten some good shit off of there.

Wasn't sure if I had to get one made for an Eclipse or if they are just all generic and it doesn't matter.

[gthompson97]

any capicator should work, it just takes power from the battery and puts it out to the amp (but in a little more defined way, haha )

I meant alternator, I know about the capacitors

[gthompson97]

I'm pretty sure you'll have to get a different alternator made or at least order a special one. sorry about the mix-up, i'm having a long day .

ill look aroudn cuz i need one to. capacitors are bandaids.

Ohio Generator - the best high-output alternators you can buy, call them, if you can think it, they can build it http://www.ohiogen.com/

That'd probably be expensive. Aren't there just generic 130 amp or higher alternators in stock somewhere?

Some where on dsmtuners i think their was a thead with some good links. Arg cant find it

Some galants have 90 amp alternators that physically bolt up and plug in. Any higher and you are looking at making your own brackets and all that BS I'm sure.
