1 x CBR 12 VIBE SUBWOOFER
2X SPACE 6 INCH SPEAKERS
2X VIBE BLACKBOX 1 AMPLIFIER
1X VIBE BLACKBOX 2 AMPLIFIER
2 X KENWOOD 6X9 SUBWOOFERS AND 200W AMP
2 X HEADREST TV'S
1 X 7INCH DVD HEAD UNIT.

i have alot of stuff that i need powering.

i will be getting a stronger battery but i do need something to charge it lol

That place does universal 120amp alternators, but you'd have to figure out your own way to mount it though.

The other largest one I've seen is a 65amp one, which may do the job.

i seem to rembmer people using alts off sierra 4x4s which are iro 100amps

there was a thread somewhere on here that listed all the possible optinos which have the correct mountings etc

[yeti21586]

ive heard of someone fitting an alt from a rangerover

Suppose all BL tat would be interchangeable

Lets hope it's not the alternator from a 2002> Range Rover, they're water cooled and about £600 brand new!!

ive got myself a 70a alternator, powers 2 jbl 1100w subs, a 250w amp, my dvd head unit and 4 speakers, 2 cigarette lighter socket, 2 spots and whatever else i cant think of atm, i dont think youll need anything larger than that unless you actually are doing a high power install, which by looking at things, youre using vibe equipment, so i dont see how it can be


personal opinion really, i dont like vibe or fusion or any of that tat, its over-priced with poorer quality sound than some cheaper respectable equipment

thanks.
does it fit straight on or does it need some modifications?

thanks

[screech]

Straight fit. Just a slight change to the wiring. very simples though.

where can you buy them from?

[screech]

Have a ring round local parts stores, scrappys etc.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I am in the same boat as the OP.....except I need a high amp alt for an MPi engine. Would any of the ones listed fit an MPi?

[M44K TS]

Probably not because the MPI uses a different style alternator. Something like an MGF might be the same fitmet though, I know the MPI used a k series style oil filter, so they might have used other parts from different Rovers?
