Amp and battery?!?! QUICK

[Vanhecht]

i can get an 80 amp alt for my truck, and its 75amp stock... is that a big enough difference for better power?

also aside from optima what are some good batteries

[KuruptGTA]

not really man. Depending on what year of truck and what kind of amp/draw you have you're almost always better going with over 100 amps. Optima makes a helluva stereo battery, and deep cycle with lots of CCA is good..dry cell is even better.

Delco is alright...just depends, I've went with napa brand...my stereo alternator in the GTA was built by hand.

i am not going killer power... dont wanna spend killer bucks, which a custom job would be
maybe when i get my z28 and dont use my truck much anymore

this is a car audio forum sir. We're all about power. :)

for the cheapest and most economical, go with a refurbished and splurge on the lifetime warranty. Most batteries over $50 come with a two year replacement for free.
