I am wanting to upgrade the alt on my 98 XC70 as I am going to be adding a decent stereo here pretty soon. I currently have the 100amp bosch in my car but I feel that this will not be enough. I am straying off the normal path of UP-grading to the Dolby that most people around here seem to love so much. Any help is appreciated.

Chilled Man mentioned that the C70 'vert has a 130 amp alternator, and I know Ghost Shadow is running a rebuilt high output (~200 amps maybe) alternator on his C70.

verts do not have a uprated alternator, believe me i know.

i do have a 200+ hi output alternator on my vert and a 160amp unit on my xc90 but thats a OEM optional upgrade.

i am installing a 200+ amp alternator into this tomorow to run 2 MTX 12" 9500, thunder 4000, some other 4400 mtx, train horns, 10.5" headrests, one stinger 1500d, two stinger spp1200, dakota digital guages, kenwood dnx9980hd, just to name some of the equipmeny LOL

I did a 220a in my 850.
If I were to do it again I would go with Ohio Generator. Give them a call/e-mail.

Do you have any kind of idea what it would cost?

I went to their site and it had no info on it other than emailing them for info before I asked the question. But thanks for coming into my thread and being absolutely Fuc king usless and contributing nothing but tired internet lame humor.

Then why not just call them?

330-875-6677

You can bet it's more at this point. Copper is going up everyday.
And who knows, there may be a sale! So why not research your own pricing.

And, dude - You Don't Know Me.
Hope you can get that sense of humor fixed...
Glad I could help.

It was 8:30 my time when I asked the question. I was directing it toward the people that had bought them in the past Ghost and Owned wanting to know what they paid for theirs so that I would know what to expect. But when it comes to sense of humor if the best that you can come up with is some tired, played, worn out lame the first time it was said internet humor, maybe its you that needs to get that sense of humor fixed. Have a great day and thanks for posting.

Wow...Deep Breath, man.

Just trying to keep it light.

I give you a web site, a phone number
and try to give you a leg up
and get this for my time?
Half Empty, eh?

Sorry.
Won't happen again.

Actually I am lighthearted and am not at all spun up about this. I am just calling it like I see it, your first post wasn't trying to be helpful in any way. I know how to use Google I was looking for what other people paid for their alts. That's it.

[BEJinFBK]

Isn't there a 160 amp OEM option for these cars?
Just throwing it out there.
