Default What alternator output do I need???

So I wanna get my efans installed before Justin heads out here to VA so he can retune and wondering what output will I need. Im looking at a 130A from DB but will that hold up to the fans and 400-600w of sub/amp? The only other one they offer thats not over 200A is 180A.


Thanks for the advice!

I just bought a 130/145 amp from the parts store when my fans killed my 105... I think it was either the part for an 05+ with factory fans or it was for an older denali or something... I just went looking online until I found one with the same connector. Its been working fine

Thanks for the info, should be all I need to hear! Looks like Ill check with my old work and see what kind of price I can get on a factory 145. Hard to beat $100 for the 130A through DB though lol.

I've got a 200A with efans and a 1000W RMS system. I have issues with my lights dimming after I took my second battery out. It recovers extremely quick though, so my kinda flash more than they dim and stay dim.
