Yeah, idle. Run the revs up.
On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

I'd gladly be the test mule for this one if this weren't my DD and only vehicle. If there are spare alternators laying around, this would be a huge benefit to the community. I'm sure we could cover any round-trip shipping costs incurred.

DC Power are about the only high amp alternators I've seen that don't sacrifice low rpm (idle) amperage. All the others usually output lower idle amps than stock alts, so you only see the higher "rated" output at higher rpms

I was running close to 3300watts. I used Singer but the alternator itself didn't seem to put out that much more power. I think a better custom solution would have been better. Maybe a larger truck alternator, but even with a custom case with mounts that will adapt to the frs motor would still require a new longer accessory drive belt.
So, you can get a little extra power from an upgraded alternator, but don't depend on it, even though you will need it. Combine it with larger/multiple batteries that are for audio and definitely run capacitors. |
