Where to buy HOAlternator?

[iVaz]

Hey All,

I've currently got my amp running at roughly about 11v, which I quickly stopped using, as 11v is too low to be safe, so I was just wondering, where in Melbourne can I get a HighOutput Alternator?

I have no intentions on adding a second battery, as the 08 Corolla is already small as it is, I need space.

Thanks All.

what? 11V? tiny... lol...

What amp your using?

secondly, standard Corolla already has a good Alternator, Iam guessing 50-80Amps.... unlike Toyota before 1990's, we are running low, mine runs at 45Amps, standard 4AGE alternator...

Iam not too sure what modern Toyota alternator runs at but definitely runs high.. what you can do is re-wound your current if you really want a better Amps out of your alternator, no need of getting a different Alternator in my opninion...

Iam running SPL and I dont use a HO Alternator... I just change to a better battery, good wiring, and if you have cash, spend it on a CapCell.. its a Capacitor and secondary Alternator in one box.. comes in different sizes too.. Iam using Soundstream 1000 CapCell... it works too...

Yeah dude, what the f*ck are you running that needs that much power?

and where are you testing the voltage from to get 11v?

If it's a Bosch, rebuild it with Falcon/Commodore internals. If you're feeling extra tricky, you could try and fit a late series BMW alternator as these have quite a bit of grunt.

Are you still running the factory battery?

Are you sure your battery isnt on its way out? Also what are you running? I'm running 3 BIG ampliers and it ony drops to about 11.x amps when it cranked right up on bass notes. And adding up all the fuses in the amps gives me a maximum current draw of about 200amps! But i doubt it'll ever reach that.

Camry alternators are 80amps, Prado/Highlanders(US) ones which apparently is a bolt on for camrys are 120 amps. So if you can run a camry alt, you can run a Prado alt.
