    Alternating Currents

    Can anyone direct me to a web address that carry a higher amperage alternator for the 93-97 series corolla??? My stock alternator can no longer handle my wimpy a** audio system.

    2- pioneer 12" 500w subs
    pioneer deh-mp 8600 head unit
    punch .5 farad cap
    punch 100.2 amp
    punch 250.2 amp (i have to check that again)
    2- pioneer 4way 6.5" rear deck
    2- pioneer 2way 4" rear deck
    2- pioneer 3way 6.5" door

    And the fact that I would like to add more like: video, a rear view camera

    uhh my alternator's holding up fine, what u need is a bigger cap...my friend (same car) had similar setup, but no cap, went through 3 alternators, then got a 10Farad cap, and no probs since then....u dont need to go that crazy, get a 1Farad, should be good for you, i have a 1.5F

    as far as i know, they dont have higher output alternators for our cars that are available to average person. one site sells them, really nice ones too, but only to auto shops...or dealers =/

    i have 1300 rms running on my stock alternator and a 460 something CCA battery...i had upgraded to a 900 CCA battery, but then decided to leave it, and go back to my smaller battery since my other one was performing just as well...

    in case ur wondering, i drove my car for about 5 hours with my music up on the highway, no probs thus far.
