Shouldnt the aem belt be able to give more power?? Also I have 2 6x9 and 2 6x5 audiobahn midrange's powered by a 550 watt 4 channel amp.. so can i still install the alternator pulley? thanks again
no the AEM pulley slows down the alternator which makes it produce less power, instead it frees 1-2hp. at idle this when the alternator is turning the slowest so it's so it doesn't alot of power then. if you have your stereo cranked with subs, headlights, radar detector, apexi vafc, and maybe even your windsheild wipers that's a strain on the battery. if your stuck in some real heavy traffic, your car may just shutoff like mine did a few times.
i also don't like having slow power windows and dimming headlights at idle.
