Alternators and recharging

All that complications may noy be necessary.Its more simple to replace your stock alt with a HO alt and charge a single battery bank at the back.Btw whats your expected current draw from your amps?

I like the single high output alt idea as well.

I never researched the topic, but I believe you can parallel alternators. The ideal setup for parallel alts is to treat them as a single big alt and wire then to power / charge everything together. Splitting them up with only reduce performance..

Thinking about it, two OEM 90A alts paralleled should outlast a single high output similarly rated (i.e. 180A) alternator. Simply because the load is charged between two alts, so you get more cooling / better heat dissipation etc..

Research the wiring for them before continuing further..

if u really want to go that way it will work but d simpler solution wud be upgrading to a higher output alt ...

yes and as 3stage stated you will put less strain on the alts.You can use both but i would advise you to use them to charge one batterybank and power all your amps from one bank.

its very hard to have two alternators even of the same amperage and same make charging exact ....... when they dont charge exact one puts load on the other leading to a pretty inefficient system and the alternators will chew through belts like dat...
