HERES THE REAL DEAL
IF YOU HAVE INDER LIKE 750 WATTS CONTINOUS YOU SHOULD BE FINE WITH A CAP. I WENT THREW SO MANY AMPS AND SPEAKERS BECAUSE OF THE AMPERAGE I WAS TRYING TO PULL TO PUSH MY AMPS. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE A ORION EXTREME 1400 AND A ORION EXTREME 800. THE PRROBLEM IS THAT YOUR AMPLIFIER IS TRYING TO PULL MORE AMPS THAN YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN PROVIDE, MY 1400 CAN DRAW 180 AMPS BUT ITS AROUND 150 MOST OF THE TIME AND YOUR STOCK ALTERNATOR IS AROUND 90 AMPS THEN ITS ALSO TRYING TO SERVE THE REST OF YOUR CAR (LIGHTS ETC..)
SO I FOUND I GUY WHO PUT IN A 200 AMP ALTERNATOR FOR 320 BUCKS INSTALLED AND A STINGER ALTERNATOR IS LIKE 500-1000 DOLLARS SO IF YOU WANT TO GET SERIOUS SPEND THE DOUGH ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIRST. BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW BIG OF A AMPLIFIER YOU GOT YOU CAN ONLY GIVE IT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF POWER TO WORK WITH. PLUS IF YOU RUN YOUR AMP WITH THE VOLTAGE DROPPING ALL THE TIME YOUR AMP GETS HOT ,DISTORTS CAUSING THE SPEAKERS TO BLOW AND IN RETURN BLOWING YOUR AMP.
MY SYSTEM HAS 3 COMPONANTS PIONEER PREMIER (SILVER ONES) AND 4 12" PREMIERS (SILVER ALSO)
YELLOW PIONEERS ARE TOOOO EXPENSIVE. I'M HAVING THE BOX REDISGNED WILL POST PICS
BY THE WAY I HIT A 144.6WITH OLD AMP MTX 2600
WHEN I PUT MY ORION 1400 ON I HIT 147 AND GOT THE ALTERNATOR I HIT A 149.7 WITH SOME DYNAMAT I'LL HAVE THE 150 MARK

ABOUT THE ALL CAPS
THE REASON I TYPE IN ALL CAPS IS THAT I AM A AUTOCAD DRAFTSMAN AND ITS JUST BURNED INTO ME TO USE AL CAPS BECAUSE THATS ALL WE USE ON OUR BLUEPRINTS BECAUSE IT TAKE MORE TIME TO TYPE USING SMALL CAPS CAUSE OF PUNCUATION AND SUCH.
SO ALL OF YOU WHO THOUGHT I WAS YELLING, SORRY I'LL TYPE WITH BOLD IF I'M YELLING .

I would still like to get a good 200 alternator in like Chrome or Nickle plating. That would look good and provide more power for my system and future lights. Anyone know where I can find such a product?

about stinger
stinger alt will cost a arm and a leg, on the other hand you could go to a alt place and have a 200 amp alt installed out the door for 320
