i have a 1994 honda civic lx. i am going to put a huge stereo in it, ao i would like to get a bigger alternator. my stock on is putting out 70A. the one i am looking at puts out 160A. some car mechanic told me that i can't put in a bigger alternator because it would mess up my engine. and the alternator i am looking at is made to fit my car. so i was just wondering if this was true?

That's quite a nice alt. The reason I believe the mechanic told you you couldn't get a bigger alt is because with more power output, more drag is placed on the motor.

But I could be wrong.
