Want bigger altenator

I have the unorthedox pullys and my bass link keeps powering down. i dont know if its my battery or my altenator. i will get a few good hits and then nothing then a few good hits then nothing......

My altenator makes crazy sounds when off the gas.....i think i just need a new one and a bigger one. but will that defeat the purpose of the pullys?

Where can i ger a new altenator from that will bolt into our cars? or will any altenator work?

you better get a bigger altornator, because the lighter pulley is giving less power to the alt. you either put the stock one back in, get an alt. or get a capacitor...

Get a digital capacitor so you can see how how fast it drains down. If it goes down too quick then you will need a bigger batterey.
