You good on a stock 130 amp alternator up to 1000 watts rms.

I use to have that pioneer GM9605 whiich is 75x4 600x1 it handled it fine.

I would still run acouple extra ground for the principal of it.

Do a alt mount to battery and a battery to frame ground upgrade. Also one power wire coming directly from the alts power post to battery. 4gauge will be fine better than that 10 gauge string from factory.

I had to upgrade to a Singer 270 alt, as my system grow and 3 XS D6500s
Big 3 Upgrade done. Running 2300 watts RMS @ 1ohm.

I did the 110 to 135 amp swap. Worked ok. Now I'm considering to swap out to a 2015 Superduty 225 amp alt just to power my 2300 watt amplifier.


is that a direct replacement? Would be nice to be able to put in a 225 amp alternator to power our inverter.

Honestly I dont know. I know that a 2004 Crown Vic has a 215 amp alternator that has the same connection. But the alt is computer controlled. I'm not sure if the alt has the same circuitry as the 2003 alt.
