You'd have to look around and find a motor shop capable of doing it..... Just a guess, I'm saying $350-$600.... You can buy those stinger alternators that are like 140amp for about $600....

ive already done all of that and the alt is the last piece along with the 0 gauge

why pay 600 for a 140 stinger when the denso 175 is 645?????

The other thing you have to look at is the ESR of the caps. If the ESR is high then you are putting more of a strain on the charging system then the cap is actually helping. The tC's handle alot like someone said before. I have over 3000 watts in mine, yes that is RMS and not peak power. I have no light dim and can play it and not have issues at all. Here is a pic of my car and then a pic of my truck as well. The tC is the daily driver, where the truck is just for fun when I want to drive it.

I need help... My stock stereo is hooked up to my 2 10" JBL subs with 1200wat amp. all installed by cartoys. When am sitting it sounds fine and when i start moving the bass gets a lot louder and doesnt sound too good. but if am sitting and hit the gas in park or neutral the bass doesnt change so i thought it might be a power problem but am not sure now. I need help on what is going on. Does Scion stock stereo have a road noise inside the stereo or is it the battery, alternator, not enough power or what???? Someone help....
