daul alt

the dual alt set up i did

That looks crazy. What are the spec's on the additional alt? What is involved in the install? What are the pros/cons? Post any more pics you have? Please and thank you.

yeah put up some more info man, u know what to do. difficulty?? comon now.. what was required to make this setup??

alot of it is just making a bracket then what most people do is get 2 high output alts like i have 2 (mean green 350 amp) thats a total of 700 amps of power to keep my batts at a steady 14.7V under really heavy useage. but there is a guy named steve meade running 4 alts in his tahoe.

hey fellas!!!!
this set up was not hard to do at least in 94& 95 i could`nt see spending
$ 300/400.00 on a high out put at the time. i had a fairly new alt just

sitting in my shed so i started looking under my hood for a spot for the sec
alt.
i did the same set up in a 1977 cougar back in the day so i knew it could be
done. well back to it !!! i had some angle iron and started retro fitting them
so that the alt will line up with every thing else washers,nuts and it took a
hole saturday to get it done.
the wiring i went to the junk yard to get a alt wiring connectors then put a seloniod on the acc fuse to actavate the charging system if you don`t the alt
rectifier will drain the batt while sitting.

i got a 1 size bigger belt to go around every thing also i made the battery
brackets for the batt tray driver side thats why i had to move the canister
so after that i started it up checked the voltages every thing fine UNTIL

i turned on the a/c the alt was vibrating terrible not enough support for it
back to solving this . i went to a metal shop and got a slab of iron it cost
me $35.00 it is to thick to cut with a grinder so i went to a muffler shop
and he use the cutting torch to cut the shape i needed.

went home cleaned it up drilled holes in it to bolt it to the factory alt
bracket and put every thing back started it up and a/c problem solved.

the pros i have 2 separate charging systems under the hood .the cons
i don`t know of any.

two months ago the system alt went out so i had to take every thing off
and cut the bracket for the bigger case alt it's a 125 amp instead of the 100 amp small case alt.
if i get one of those HOP alt it will bolt right on.My system has 2 batt to play from . then the engine has it's own batt to use

man that steve has juice i wonder what he paid for them alt.

the dude has like an unlimited amount of money, or people are just giving him all this stuff its MAD. he has 2 ROCKFORD FOSGATE T15KW's($25,000 each) in an escalade with 8 Fi BTL's (like 3 grand each) and a **** ton more into this thing.

i cant understand that. i mean, i totally understand the purpose behind two alternators, but i think it'd almost be easier to run a capacitor and have an extra yellow top optima connected with the other battery. but, you gotta do what you gotta do for that bass

I think that Steve Meade may be out of his mind. HOLY BALLS!
