hi.

i currently have a 90 amp stock alternator and i can upgrade to a high output alternator because , there isnt one available here and the alternator shaft also drives some pump i believe which is connected at the rear of the alternator . is it possible that i can get mutiple alternators installed like say 2 stock alternators in parrallel to the same battery ? i currently have a 80 A/hr battery .

when i turn up the volume of the system i can see my electrcal system taking the load , the lights get dim .

please help me on what i can do to solve my power problem

i even tried to find if some one can rewind my alternator for higher output but couldnt find anyone .i have included a pic of my alternator .

upgrade your big three...PLEASE READ HERE

It is perfectly fine to mount two factory alternators...if you can fit them and have a mounting bracket fabricated go for it...a new sepentine belt is prolly needed afer though

Also can you list all of your equipment?? we need to know what you have and what kind of power you are actually running

That power wire in the picture seems like 8 gauge...what brand wire is that??? sometimes if you get a really cheap wiring kit the wire is actually alot smaller than the posted 8 gauge
