Default Pulley + System

Is anyone running an ASP pulley with a crazy stereo system? I want to upgrade my stereo system but im affraid that i will have charging problems. I really dont want to get and overdrive pulley for the alternator. I was thinging of going with a Alpine HU with the v-Drive (26 watts RMS so no need for an amp on inerior speakers) and 2 10'' subs with a 600 watt amp. You guys think i am asking for trouble or should i be fine?

In my opinon, if you are going to do any kind of high powered stereo upgrades, I would of never replaced the pulleys. I think there is always a risk, if you have it working now, it may not work properly once you upgrade. Like I said, there's always risk.

I'd get the Alternator overdrive pulley. It should spin it around stock speed but you'll still have the HP gains from reduced acessory speed on the ps, water pump, and ac.

Just get another battery and a battery isolator with a good 1.0 farad cap and you should be alright. Not optimal but its about the only way short of replacing it with a bigger altenator (one that makes the same amps at less rpm).

You could also get a bigger pulley but you said you didnt want to do that.

Thanks guys. I apprecitate the help. Im most likely just gonna do one sub and 200-300 watt amp. Hopefully alpines v-drive is as good as everyone says it is and i wont need an amp to make the interior speakers sound decent.
