According to the high output alternators website, that should be a standard CS130 alternator... Who the hell quoted you 900 for a 300A verson of that?

Call deez guyz: 1.866.446.8878 Toll Free. Extension 106, I think, or ask for Phil.

Here's the website...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

You got to pay to play.

Where is the fun in spending just enough money on the equipment and not spending the money on installing it correctly, only to be left with a system with SPL potential but no SPL.
