Good if you have a system running lots of amps and other power loving equipment.

Why not just buy a bigger output altenator?

lol i knew bring this up again would cause all kinds of controversy.... I added a second alt for more power to the car audio system. I have a 3000 watt rms subwoofer amp and the stock electrical wont handle it that well so i decided to go extreme and go with a dual alt setup. Yes i am aware of the performance loss and i honestly don't care. The alt itself is only a max 5hp loss on the drivetrain and since i must get gm stage 2 to fit the belt I'm still going to be ahead of stock. My main performance loss is the actual audio gear because my car is going to gain a lot of extra weight.
i have yet to see a reputable company make a bigger alt for our car and with the lnf i dont see it happening. Plus a dual alt system is a million times better then just getting a bigger alt

1 horse power = 746watts not counting friction of mechanical parts.
Power ain't free!

I understand the point behind the dual alt, and wish you would post a how to, but also understand wanting to be unique....selfishness (kidding). I have been looking for a upgrade for my alt but I see now why I have yet to find one, it just aint out there.
Question- Could you possible tell me the amp output of the stock alt in a SS/SC and one more, will upgrading my batt. make a difference, say a yellow top (not running two, just replacing the current one) |

That looks really easy to make, I think you just took that piece, heated it up, bent it, and welded that other side on. Am I right?
Wish I still had a welder... For wiring You would just run it parallel with the other stock alternator.

Im not running parallel with the stock alt because its a externally regulated ohio gen. So i will be able to change the voltage as nessicary.... Its going to be hooked up to 2 kinetik HC16v batts (currently mounted in the wheel well) Quote:

aww u changed from guru to emp... lol
um actually not for some reason the optima yellows tend to not last all that long. the car audio shop i work at is actually contracted to have a yellow and red top for sale at all times but we dont sell them for that reason. someone wants a battery we or i recommend the carquest NGT extreme. on the stock electrical with just that battery and bigger ground wire (2/0) i did 3 runs at a comp (1 spl burp for 10 secs max and 2 30 sec streetbeat runs) the voltage never went below 11.9 and that was at the very end of the very last run but it was mainly at 12.4 and this was running a T30001bd with a 3688 watt birthsheet

Thank you, I was going to buy a yellow top, but now... I'll have to start the search. (Good car audio equipment is hard to find around these parts) In any case thanks for the info

Does your 2nd Alt have to be set up to run backwards, or does it work the same either way?

I completely understand you the man in my book i would like to do this to mine but i dont think the balt is going to do good for me in SPL. I had 3 alt. on my astro van lol and one of them was a generator from an ambulance 300amp. Be glad to see the finished set up. I guess SBN in daytona is to far from you i would say i see ya there.
