dose anybody know the Alternator numbers??

Stinger Alternators
Stinger located here in Fla tested a high output alt on the Spidy xB. They created all the brackets and everything. His stereo rocks with this thing with no voltage drop.It should be available now try www.stingerelectronics.com

Sweet, will you have it ready to go to NOPI in Ga? Mines all tore apart again. Went with Cadence Daytona amps Zx components and triple x 4ohm subs w/ anew fiberglass box. We one at Sibling Rivalry with the old design but Nopi is a whole different story. We also will be featureing the all new xB bolt on 90 degree door hinges that I developed for Autoloc. Will be taking orders for those at the show.

Mine don't either. I meant I had an alternator burn out in another car because my gear taxed it to much. To make a long story short, I'm left-laning at 80 mph and everything electrical in my car starts "not working" and suddenly I'm stranded in the median.

I'm running the same total power as you and have been for quite some time, it sounds fine, lights never dim and I'm using four 1farad caps(not as a replacement for a alt). Today I looked at the battery and the negative post is corroding pretty bad. I'm taking the big amps out and dropping the power way down, from 1600watts down to around 700watts. I don't have the money right now to buy a large enough alt to supply the current needed. Alot of power is nice but not really necessary to build a loud system.

Not quite accurate. Alternator will put more load on the engine when you draw more current out of it.
If you aren't drawing currrent from it, both standard and high output alternators will not use too much engine power. But when you turn on your audio gear and other devices in your car, aany alternator will consume more engine power
IIRC, 1hp = 746W. So, if you put a 746W load on your alternator, it will rob your engine of a bit over 1hp.

And what is the point of having a large audio system if you don't listen to it? Furthermore, why have a high output alternator if you don't listen to the large audio system? I don't know about you, but if I needed a huge alternator then I am sure my engine would have to spin it and therefore lose some power. When you say that alternators don't suck power from the engine, you are right. When you say they take power when under load, that is obvious. But that is the whole point. If you need one, you will likely be loading it down.
