What are you doing that you want more amps from your alternator? If it's sub/amp then just get a stiffening capacitor and save yourself the hassle of getting the alt in and out.

To answer your question though, I'm not rightly sure. Head to the junkyard and compare plugs and pulley sizes. If they are the same then go for it.

A capacitor will do absolutely nothing useful unless a high output alternator is present and even then the results are negligible.

If you're going to be installing a large stereo system you'll want a high output alternator. I would pick one up if you're planning to run more than around 60a. This number is my personal preference. Our stock alt. is 80a and is built to output enough power for the car and the electronics that come with it from the factory.

There are two alternators that'll fit our car that output 95a, which cars they are meant for someone else will have to chime in on.

A prelude alternator, from a prelude VTEC will put out 95 amps. The stock accord is 80 amps

thank you

thank you

all you have to do is swap the pulleys from your accord to the new prelude one, otherwise the belt will shred since the accord only has 5 ribs and the prelude has 6.

The autozone one will do fine if you're looking for a reman'd one. its made in Malaysia, not in Mexico like the accord ones are. So its of higher quality.

i just let the autozone people do it, They had an electric impact that took it off. Took him awhile but at least I didn't have to do it. I actually put my alternator on in the autozone parking lot at like 4 in the morning. It was the only 24 hr store in the state lol.

ill chime in since im sort of audio savy. but a quick tip is that with the proper electrical wiring and a strong starting battery you could push 1000 with no problem all day.

for our cars, and the legend scottie johnson told me that a d3400 up front with the proper electrical ie. all 1/0 gauge good wiring (Knu/Stinger/Kicker/Shock) will be suffice for 2000 watts.

If you are wanting an aftermarket high out put alternator, DO NOT waste your money on Load Boss. They're garbage
