What output alternator do i need?

Do I Need a High output alternator (150Amp Stock)? -Adding a Kicker ZX1500 (1500W RMS) & Audio Battery & Cap?

  • -I have a stock 150 Amp Alternator ('07 Infiniti M35) -There are no High output alternators available at this time for my vehicle. -I will be replacing the stock battery with a High Performance Car audio battery and adding a 3 farad cap in addition to ugrading the Big 3 to 0/1 gauge. My question is...Will the a 150 Amp stock alternator with the upgraded Battery, big 3 upgrade and cap be OK if the system is not Abused???? *Running the Kicker ZX1500.1 with a Pioneer 2000W RMS/5000W Max SPL Sub from the stock sound stystem with a Line output converter(IF anyone can recommend the best LOC ti will be appreciated as well). Thanks for reading. All help appreciated. I will be installing everything in 2 weeks.

  • Answer:

    the stock 150 amp alternator is the same size as many HO alternators. i have a "heavy duty" on my jeep and i have 800 watts, no issues at all, and if i remember correctly its only 110 amp, and i have a stock battery and no big three upgrade.. i think you'll be fine... if your getting the cap to help with the electrical power supply, save your money, it wont help boost the power supply in any way, now if your getting it to help the subs sound quality, then by all means it does give a slight advantage there.

These two guys are right. Sparky REALLY knows his stuff and Rick is right about the CAP. You dont need one and it is really just a waste of money. and any kind of L.O.C. will do the trick as long as it is installed correctly. You should be good to go.
