Last night my 135A alternator died in my 99 Grand Marquis (it was only 2 years old). It's my daily driver and I need to replace that alternator as soon as possible. I was only running a Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 when it died, but my last system consisted of 2 Kicker 06ZX400.1's and 1 Kicker 06ZX350.2. I have the big three done with 1/0 and I have just one battery, a group 65 Duralast Gold Battery. I plan to hookup my Sundown Audio SAE-1000D in addition to the 100.4 when my new alternator is installed.
I emailed Excessive Amperage, Iraggi Alternators, Ohio Generator High Amp Alternators, and High Output Alternator.
What do you think the minimum alternator I need to buy is? Is the amps at idle the most important thing? What kind of voltage will I get with a H/O alt? How many amps does my car need without the stereo? How many amps do you think my 135A alternator put out at idle?

Well Excessive Amperage's prices went up $15, but they were still much lower than Ohio Generator's and High Output Alternator's prices. I'm still waiting on Iraggi Alternators.
My car idles at 600-800 rpms (I don't have a tach. but people say the civilian panthers idle at 600 and the interceptors at 800). My amps will pull between 101-116 amps (1400-1600 watts/ 13.8 volts). Is a 250 amp (130 at idle) alternator enough to run everything in my car at idle and still crank my system, or would I be better off with a 300 amp (150 at idle)?

the 300A making more power at idle than the 250? that actually seems off to me. Must be plenty of resistance. I like nate, nice guy. Unfortunately, I had several alternators die in a short time. Some rebuilt several times with the wrong regulator and a weak stator. Not to discourage you from him. Several others are still going strong.
