My stock altenator is no longer charging so I had to replace it. The stock altenator is either 90 or 95 amps while the new altenator that I have is 65 amps. I have the stock speaker and 4 tower speakers on a 2005 supra sunsport 24'. Will the 65 amp alt be able to keep up? Also I know when upgrading the altenator amperage you need to upgrade the wires and fuses but since I have downgraded do I have to do anything?
The old altenator had a orange power wire, black ground wire and a purple and red wire that clipped into the back of it. The new altenator had the red and purple wire coming out of it and doesn't have a female plug for the clip that is coming from the engine. Is there anywhere I can buy this female clip to install on the wire coming out of the new altenator or would it be best to cut the male plug off of the male clip coming from the engine and just splice the wires together? Also there is nothing on the new altenator marking which post the positive and negative wires go. On the old altenator the positive wire went to the thicker stud and the negative went to the smaller stud. Would this also be true with the new altenator even though both studs on the newer altenator are smaller in size than the old altenator?
