I want to add some off-road lights but I need to know how much wattage the stock aultinator can handle before I need to upgrade. What recommendations do you all have for a new aultinator and the typical price range?
 






I have 6 six inch kc lights on my explorer 4 on the roof rack and 2 on the grill gaurd and iv not made an upgrade and they work fine just use a relay 4 every 2 lights 1nd dont put no more than 2 lights on a switch
 






In the FAQs there is this link: http://www.rallylights.com/other/wiring.htm
It will give you a way to guage the amount of amps you are pulling from the alt.
I have 2 130watt & 2 100watt & 2 55watt lights that may all be on when at highway speeds.
As Khoward said, you should be OK if properly installed.
Seems that audio amplefiers are the real alt. amp eaters.
