my only point is.... make better use of the power you get from the stock alt so you don't have to spend money on an expensive HO alt and have to keep getting them rebuilt.

Edit: i have a mach 5 IXL 18.2.2

its great for what they claim, just not up to taking a full 1000 watts, it runs outta xmax at that point since the suspension is a little weak compared to my FI/SS hybrid. 30 MM Xmax versus 22 might have a little something to do with that as well...

Never tried the SPL one there, heard great things from it though. close to 150 dB from one, slightly more output than competitors and at that price, its pretty much the best bang for buck.
