How much is Honda CRV worth?

How much does a 2004 honda crv alternator cost?

• I am looking for a high amperage alternator since I have 2 amps in my system running at 900 watts rms and my lights slightly dim and later upgrading my amp to 100 rms so 1400 total will dim the hell out of it... By the way how much is the installation?

• Answer:

  your better bet is to take the alternator to an electrical shop who can rebuild the alternator to handle the extra wattage instead of trying to find one. Better yet.. install a secondary battery, like a yellow top Optima, to power the amps & subs, put a battery isolator in between so you can still use your regular stock alternator, and the amps won't be affecting the vehicle electronics. The alternator will charge both batteries at the same time, but won't be affected by the massive current draw from the amps. the yellow top will be able to dish out power without having to suffer. Also put a capacitor in your mix as well, it won't do much to save current draw, but it'll help a bit, and when a loud thump comes, the cap will be able to power that current spike easily, and they recharge instantly.l putting a larger alternator isn't a long term solution, as you'll eventually end up heating it up over time.
