Ok here's my problem .. I'm running two 15" alphasonik 800 series subs both running at 1800rms combined and the amp. Powering them is a 1800 rms alphasonik amp.. When a certain low note hits my light dim. I kno it could be the alternator. I have a 2farad cap with it will a higher farad cap do the job or must I have a rebuilt higher amp alternator? |

I am surprised you could run 1800 wrms on a stock alt as it is. Wow, how many amps is your alt now? My healights dim doing 600 wrms! |

you would need to email dominic iraggi and ask him about your specific car. i don't see one beyond '01 for a malibu. i got the amputator w/lifetime warranty.
most importantly, i don't think there is any reason for you to spend on a HO alternator w/just 1800 watts. i would upgrade my big 3 first.

i'm pretty certain this will fix the problem for a bunch less (copy the whole link and paste it). |
