    The tabs don't look to be in the right place for some reason. Maybe I'm imagining things but it seems to me our tabs are about 180 degrees opposite. That ones not like that. I'd also be scared to death to attempt running 200 amps through the stock 2g wiring harness. its only 2 10 ga wires. They melt with a stock 65 amp alt, just imagine pumping 200 through it. The 95 Mustang 130 amp unit swaps over pretty easily and I can tell you it'll be cheaper than that. Its also an off the shelf part at most places. Not quite as much juice, but there is much to be said about ease of replacement if it pops.

      89, you are confusing amps and watts still - see the electronics link in my sig for an electro-education.

      Small amplifiers dont need a new alternator to run them.

      And yes, running a high power alternator will require all new fused high power wiring direct to the battery, if you get one.
