The Novice · April 14th, 2008, 10:41 AM

doubt your gonna need it unless you have a huge stereo system or PLARS missle system your trying to run. It just creates more amps to run more accessories. it will also kill your HP.

Kills HP, well we dont want that! hah ok thanks, yea i was thinking it was for sound, but not sure, thanks for the help.

then you might overcharge your battery?

And I though 6" cowls were tough to see out of.

Like everybody has said before, the only time you need two alternators is when you have a massive current draw in the car. and usually you can solve that with a high output alternator anyway, so there is no need, except for extreme circumstances.
