Subject: Alternator size?
IP: Logged

Message:
Im cant find the Alt size for my 95 318. Can someone please tell me what size it is, and do you think it could hold up to a 350 watt amp, and four 55 watt KC lights? Should I get a stronger Alt?

Size would depend on options like AC or tow package. When you say "350 watt amp" you are likely indicating sound output wattage which is almost always highly over rated, you need to be more concerned with how much current the amp draws. Increasing the size of your alternator without upgrading associated wiring, etc. could cause you some serious problems. Just try it and see, if your alternator shows you're losing charge, turn off some lights or turn down the tunes.
