January 25, 200521 yr What is the most powerful alternator I can bolt into my 91loyale wagon? I'm currently running the stock set up and I need more power to run my cb as 1000 watts isn't enough for me. I have 2 extra batterys hooked up in the back of the car and they help a little but I need more amperage. Has any one ever hooked up duel alts in a subaru befor? Any info would be gladly appreciated.
January 25, 200521 yr Dual alternators are doable if you sacrifice your A/C certain chevy alternators fit up to about 100 watt but they require mod. Most popular route is an xt6 alt which puts out 90A.
January 25, 200521 yr Author yeah, I never have used the ac, but that was in colorado. I haven't spent a sunner in north carolina yet! I am willing to scrap the ac if I need a second alt. I'll look into the gm alternator. the set up I'm going for for the cb is going to hopefully put out 2000-3000watts of power when i key the mic up, and i am planing on adding two mor batterys in the back, so I,m looking for the most amperage I can possibly get out of an alt.
January 25, 200521 yr if you can find a subaru alternator with an orange band that will be a a 60 amp, the green ones are 30. sometimes you will find non-xt6 black ones, but some remans are painted black
January 25, 200521 yr Author Got a 60 amp in there now. my volt meter drops to about9-10 when i key up even at 4500rpm wow I just also oticed I'm a usmb reguler and not a new user any more!
January 25, 200521 yr wow I just also noticed I'm a usmb reguler and not a new user any more! We can fix that if you want
January 25, 200521 yr Mudduck, Have you considered the hazard of exposing yourself to that much RF energy so close? Not to mention the legality of this setup.
January 25, 200521 yr hi i put 90A last mounth...it's working great, also this 90A is made spechily for brut that makes patrols ...so....it made for low idle charge,even if i just start the car without moving it, it still charge the battery. moshe.
January 25, 200521 yr Do a search for GM alternators. Somebody found one a while back that bolts right up after you file one of the mounting tabs a little bit which produces at least 90 or 100 amps. He found it online for less than $100.

I'm not going to be running that kind of power all the time, just for the occational times when I need all of that and for "keydown" competitions. As far as leagality on 11 meters, no coment

I think I might see what gm has to offer. I might see what Leece Nevile has as far as an alt. that might fit also. I really don,t want to get to costom on the brackets, but, if it comes down to it I'll do what I got to do!
