Do I have to change out my alternator?

If I add a 1800w subwoofer system into my car will I have to upgrade my alternator?

minimum 220amp alternator a capacitor, and the expensive part.. a secondary yellow top Optima battery (deep cycle) and also more importantly a battery isoloator.



the isolator will keep your alternator charging both batteries and keep the car running without messing with the cars electronics. this is very important.

the capacitor will help with power draw, but not much.

the yellow top optima will handle the excessive vibration as it's a lead paste, vs. water. it won't leak, and there's no lead cells to crack.

the deep cycle will power the sub easily. the alternator won't have to struggle to try %26amp; keep up.

You would if you hook or wire it in with the car battery. But you don't if you wire the system to its own battery, or power supply!
Get a Monster Power Capacitator

It will help protect your alternator

This is my entire system out of my truck for sale

It destroyed my alternator, and I'm now ready to replace the truck's 4th alternator, and I'm not going to play this game

Anyway

Point is

Talk to somebody about what you need

Mine is just bad because the kid that owned it before me ran the system all the time without the truck running

Talk to an auto electrician or a Car Audio specialist



But no

If you do it right, your alternator will be fine
