Lights vs alternator

[Cwebboutbacked1]

I have 4 hella 500s, 2 on my roof, 2 in factory outback location. Car is a 97 outback. I want two more on my roof but I know/think thAts too much for my stock alternator, what are my options?

I know rewinding kills the life of your alt, And I already have plans for optima yellow top.
Does anyone have experience with high output alternators?

STI alternator works magic, from what i hear.

and honestly, i think youll be fine with the stock alternator. but a HO alternator would probably be a good idea anyways.

So hard to find! Sti alternators that is

[RS MN]

lol i found them at fleetfarm.
refurbished.

also at fleetfarm, they have a book that gives you the output of all stock alternators, and i think there was one on a subaru with like 110amps or something. if its coming off a subaru with an EJ engine, it should fit.

Can I ask how much it cost you?
And I'm not sure if we have that Round here. We have lkq

Haha, Fleet Farm is really a Wisconsin/Minnesota/Iowa thing only, I think.

i didnt buy one, i was looking into how much it would cost if i decided to go that route.

but i think it was just over $50.

and yeah mark, im thinking so too lol.
