His knowledge of cars being a Car audio builder himself only adds to his experience to get you exactly what you need the first time.

Contact him http://singeralternators.com/ and see for yourself.

Already emailed.

Good choice imo.

You coming out Sunday to Hooters?

Probably. I'm super disappointed tho. I got a new amp and no alt. It turns on and off by itself. And my attempt at getting one from tenney has failed.

Im calling them tomorrow and Ill see what they say.

I've used several stinger alts (can am). All were decent and worked fine. None did 200a at idle. I believe that is their max.

I agree b4 I bought my alt for my impala I emailed singer HE LITERALY REPLIED in less than 2 hrs & replied to every email promptly. Even on the week end & ive talked to scotty from pure audio & a few others that say they where amazed at how fast shipping was....

I was originally planning on buying a 300A alternator from Tenny.
I haven't got a response from him yet, it's been almost a week now.
I also emailed DC and they take forever to reply back, and I've read that it takes almost a month for their alternators to be shipped to the destination (I have no problem with that, considering build time).
Singer alternators only have a 240A alternator for my car and I'm looking for a 300+A for my car.
Excessive Amperage has not replied back to me yet (I'm calling them tomorrow since the dealer closest to me is in Gainesville and I can just drive over there).
Mechman alternator I would try, but reading a couple of threads I'm a little bias on it and I feel like it won't be as good as other competitor alternators.

What Alternator should I go for?
I'm thinking I should go to DC, I want an alternator that would last for hundreds of thousand more miles.

Ohio generator baby! They've been around for longer than all these companies, they must be doing something right! customer service is top notch. research will show there is very minimal negative talk about this company. I have a 275 in my blazer with only one crescendo batt and a run of 4/0 power and ground on a AB450.1 at 1/2 ohm and still hold high 12's low 13's at full tilt! and the prices are very competitive1

Not worried about belt slip are you? 240 you'll be able to get away with with little to no belt slip, 300 once you put ample load on it you'll get belt slippage with the limited belt contact on that alt.

I'd probably go singer.
