i heard that the shaker 1000 comes with a different alternator to power the extra subs? is this true and if it is what would this do (any advantages)?

 

my info says nothing about a different alt, just a 60amp battery or something like that

 

It ain't listed on the window sticker if it does. I don't see anything about a bigger altenator on the window sticker. Now it says 60amp battery and heat shield. I wonder if they meant 60A altenator. 60 amps would be right for an altenator, and waaaaay to small for a battery!

thats what i thought whan i saw the window sticker but it hasnt crossed my mind since.

 

actually a few things change if your options vary, I got mine and the dealer told me it came with the following upgrades

1. Shaker 1000 - Bigger Alternator

2. Alarm - Better Battery

3. 18" Bullit Wheels - Heavier Suspension

Not sure if they are full of it or not, but they told me it came with this stuff when I bought mine!

 

I would expect a bigger altenator than 60A. My old 1971 Buick had a 61A on it, my 1997 Dodge Dakota has a 120A on it!

I'll see if I can read any labels on the altenator. They might say what the amperage is.

Also, that is an interesting quote about the 18" wheels. I have them too, but they are not the bullet style; they are similar but flat spokes instead of rounded ones.

Thx,

Mike

 

05 / 06 Mustangs have 130 amp alternator. I got that from a PDF document from Ford.
