two alternators?

[Miles]

i remember seeing something about a kit being available... what would the pros/cons be of a dual alternator system? stock alt and lightweight batt for the car, upgraded alternator and optima batt for the system. or would it just be easier/better to upgrade to a single high amp alternator and optima battery?

well, dual alternators menas taking up more space in the engine bay..

and.. I dont see why youd need an upgraded high amp alt for the system alt.. seeing as it will still put out x amps of power, but without the drain from the electrical system.

I would do it like this. Batter, then High amp alt, and if it sitll isnt providing enough juice then look into a seocnd alternator

pro to 2nd ALt ,did this for a comp Crx,welded a 98 Bseries 110Amp Alt to a custom Ac bracket i made ((230$)) plus bought a BlueTop battery And wired everything from the system to this 2nd alt And always kept the 13.7Volts at PeakBass but in all just alot of work and money i would just go with a highAMp and 2batterys im sure your system is good and all but not needed for another ALtinator but if you wish to do this i can build you a bracket just let me no

teh pros to having 2 alts. is to power some amps.... I remember back in teh day when In came by an amp I liked alot :lol: phoenix gold 2250 came w/: 0 gauge wire, fuse block, and a second alt. jus for the amp. I loved that amp 2610 watts of pure bass'n evil..... wut to do wut to do..... Booom Booom Booom :lol:

a higher output alt would be a good way to go, from how i have had it explained the alt supplies the power to the batt regardless so the amp gets most of the power from the alt, getting a 2nd battery would just place more load on your alt to charge two batteries instead of one, getting a stronger batt is good but on the long run a stronger alt is nicer....

contact dominick@tds.com, he makes h.o. alts for anycar and can usually make them to fit in like the stock alt

a HighAmp alty does not have the cycles like a Reg alt it stays current for longer period of time,only thing is thay are about 200bucks more
