So my alternator is done for in my 93' coupe
I have alot of speakers pushing over 4000W, and the battery no longer stays charged...
I know my alternator cant keep up, so im looking to upgrade to a 100A alternator...
(found one on ebay motors for cheap FYI)
however, i cannot find a 100A alternator fuse...
I was wondering if anyone knows where i might find one???

And Thank you for your help nico club!!! :)

Hey be careful there man, you cant just up your fuses cause you think you box :rotfl

Alright a little knowledge for ya. Your alternator is rated at 75amps so your fuse is rated at 75amps therefore your wire is only rated for 75amps. The correct way to fix your issue is up your alternator, then your fuse, and your wire. Honestly you need a pretty decent sized system to pull this much current and your fuse isnt going to stop your battery from charging. You need to research more before doing this. A larger fuse with a smaller wire will result in a car fire.

Thank you, indeed. get the alternator, then the fuse, then i make the wire, rated for this application. also need to check for draws in my electrical b/c my 240 needs some minor surgery...well surgery. Trust me, i do my research, but i just cant seem to find that fuse. and before u roll around luaghing there buddy, i didnt say nothin about the wire.
