Dual alt brackets for F150 4.6L

If you can get an alt that does 180 at idle and 250 at speed with the power you are going to run I personally wouldn't worry about a 2nd alt

Ok I guess not with like 300w. But what if I did have like about 450w of current pulling?

Never hurts to go overkill on electrical, will only make you more power. Depending on budget and hassle with two alts may not hurt to run 1, assess the situation and then upgrade to the 2nd if its required. I'm kind of cheap so thats how I think.

Ya me 2. And I met amps, not watts lol.

I was looking at possibly doing dual alts and to see if any company made them for my model or if I need to make one/get one made.

I got my dual kit from:

http://www.DCPowerinc.com

Also got both my alts from them, its a 2001 Expedition. Call the number on the site and ask for Dave.

Wire I'm going to run or amperage I'm going to pull?

Wire 2 runs pos, 2 runs negative.

I run two, a 275a 12v and a 300a 16v, great alts also have DC power on my daily rides.

my voltage figures above were with only 1 run of 1/0 neg and pos....a higher amp alt at idle and two runs each would probably be pretty **** solid on 3kw

i'm doing 3k on 1 each soon. with the 2x g31 YTs

Ya I did. No need for it, yet at least.

How do you wire all that? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Independant charging systems, 16v system has its own regulator, harness, etc.. The 12v operates just like OEM, just upgraded. Single trigger wire to the ignition switch to makes the 16v system function.
