Alternator, 2000 Dodge Intrepid

OK I have a 00 Dodge intrepid R/t. My system is pioneer filpout, 2 PG 15.0:1 amps, and four 12in eclispes. I have a yellow top in the trunk with two circuit breakers. And two 250 amp wafer fuses. My question is which alt should i upgrade to and how many amps for my car. And should upgrade the power wire to the trunk too 2ga or 0 ga. Rigth now i have 4 ga. One of the amps I just got so it is not in the car for now.For the alt im think about Mean Green or Ohio generators. Which one would you choose and what amp would be best for my car. Thanks Erik

Erik, Ohio Generator makes some good alternators, as does Stinger. Get the largest one available that will fit. What is the combined total fuse rating of your amplifiers? This points to the alternator that you should be looking at. Definintely upgrade the power and ground wire to 0 gauge. Read the grounding stickies at the top of the forum as it applies to you. The power wire from the front to back needs to be 0 gauge and fused at each end.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

How can I find the total fuse rating for my amps. For the power wire right now i have from the front to a circuit breaker to the back to and one more. And off the back battery the fused dist block. Wolud this still work for my new setup. Thanks

The fuse ratings for your amplifiers will be in their product literature.  It sounds like you're protected at both batteries, so this is correct.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

The fuse rating is 2 40amp fuse. Would this be rigth

Yes, so 2 40 amp fuses gives you 80 amps max draw.  I see no apparent need to upgrade your alternator, or the power wiring for that matter (4 gauge is fine).  Consider the big 3- do a search if you're not sure what this is.
