    an alternator for this vehicle isn't listed on the site. Can it be done? Has it been done? Thinking of buying one but want to be able to put the system I want in it so the alternator is a must. Any info is appreciated. I can't seem to find anything anywhere of quality.

  6. That's in alternator RPMs... our competition rates their alternators at 2400-2500 alternator RPMs at idle. So our 250XPs still do quite a bit at idle More to come very soon as i continue to program the machine.

    read a previous post and am hoping that belt slip IS the issue but.... battery light will come on and blink temporarily, lost power steering (not directly related to the serpentine belt due to the fact that it's electronic), and service airbag light came on.... voltage for my car, a chevy cobalt normally rests around 13.5 and kicks up to 14.1, after the alternator install, while the car is idling with no accessories on other than headlights the battery voltage constantly jumps from 13.5 to 14.6 like it's cycling for no reason.... I upgraded the electrical accordingly (the big 3 and a kinetik 1800, a second of which has yet to be installed, etc.).... I don't know if it's r…

    So from looking at the pictures I'm guessing there is a spot on the alt to bolt down some 0gauge wire with a ring terminal to the battery? I just need to know if I should be ordering some extra wire and ring terminals

    So I was looking on the DC Site for the available alts for a 1997 honda civic 1.6L and I saw there were 3 options: 1. HP Series for $399 - does 180 max & 130 idle 2. Pro Series for $320 - does 210 max & 100 idle 3. OEM Series for $349 - does 170 max & 110 idle I was wondering the differences between these different series lines.. and also why the pro costs less but has the highest max output?.. Is the hp way better? if so why?.. just wondering because the $400 tag on them.. I guess I just dont know the difference between the different lines of alts really. -Jordan

    I got a 270xp series alt for a 1997 I6 4.0L jeep wrangler a few months ago. I wanted to know what other vehicles and years it would fit on? I'm looking to get a new car and likely better off selling the alt and buying a new one then sending it in for a new case. Car is still undecided, likely scion tc or volvo v70 Thanks

    Hello I have a 3.4l v6 Chevrolet Impala and I'm wondering if you carry and alternator for my car. I am going to be running a sundown saz-2500d and most likely 200 more watts for speakers. I would say roughly adding 2700 watts extra to my car. Now, if it happens that you do make an alternator for my car I'm wondering if you have a bracket so i can run it with my stock alternator. Let me know, thanks. -Jay
