Ok well I am going to buy a HO alternator and i am finding that the cheapest solution is from ebay. I have a 150amp alternator now and i am looking to upgrade to a 240amp alternator or above. I have seen Iraggi Alternators and a few from Alterstart. Does anyone have any experence with the Iraggi's or Alterstart? Thanks for the input........

From the research I have done, I would only get a HO alternator from Dominik Iraggi....

I have bought one from MrAlternator. I have not gotten it tested yet, but it did come as expected and installed fine. (It charges the batery but I am not sure of the amperage)

ebay alternators? Sounds risky. I don't mind buying an amplifier or something off ebay, but when the product is something that could seriously mess up your car, I'm going to be a tad more cautious.
i.e. I want someone to sue that will have adequate insurance if something goes horribly wrong.

A lot of legitimate businesses link to Ebay for a wider window of sales opportunities...nothing wrong with that. When it comes to the mechanics of your automobile - especially with an alternator which is the heart of your sound system and the car itself - make sure that any alternator listed on Ebay also contains a link to the actual business that builds it, with street address and phone number. Talk to a mechanic and verify its use for your application before placing a bid! One question to ask: "What's the output at idle?"

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I can say from experience, leave Alterstart out. They are not good people to deal with if you have problems. I have never been a fan of ebay for anything. I have only heard good things about Iraggi's alternators. I have an Alterstart alternator on my car now. When it goes out I will be dealing with Iraggi myself.

I have an Iraggi in my G/F's car. It's been like 6 months, and no problems at all. Great prices too. The next one in my Jeep will be Iraggi. ------------- Nik

I have a 180A @ 2k RPM (100a @ idle) Irragi Alt in my Accord. Dominik is a GREAT person to deal with and his prices are VERY competitive. When he built mine, he also sent me the housing early so that I could have it anodized. I have been using it since November with no problems. I belive you can get a hold of him at Dominik@tds.net but check the electrical explanation forum at sounddomain.com if that dosent work. there is a sticky "official HO Alternator post there... Dominik is a good builder of HO Alt's ------------- PG Limited Edition Octane Aplifier

Good luck with the alterstart product. Hope you don't have trouble with it. If you do you will be STUCK.
