yes excessive amperage is an aftermarket...200+ amps..so...

you would be surprised what you can get away running off the stock alt(which is only 80 amps i believe)..i upgraded my engine wiring to 4ga and i run 1200 watts d class to my single sub and another 200+ to my front stage..at its worse it dims just a bit at idle..but how often are we full out cranknig it and not moving...

Guys at work gave me this site for alternator but I got lost.

I am getting yellow top optima battery but I wondered if an alternator would be neccesary. Does it mess around with the computer much?

I want the 130 amp cause I was fixing on getting the 450/4 from JL and 500/1 but was told "noway!!!" cause our alternators sux. I wonder if 130 amp alternator with yellow top Optima and all 4 gauge cables will work...Anyone?

So after the battery was replaced did it stop?

The 130 amp didn't effect the car at all?
There asking $274!! for them....damn
