Should I be concerned about my voltage?

[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8678401, member: 540940"] Yes, alt output is regulated. Older Ford and Mazdas traditionally use mitsubishi alternators which in my experience are pretty strong. I wouldn't worry much about ~1kw with your 100-110A alt. Voltage may sag a bit at high volume low rpm, but as long as it's not spending a LOT of time at or below 12.5v everything should run fine. Keep in mind -- running at higher capacity means running hotter so the alt can't be expected to last forever - especially if it's the original as it probably already has ~100k on it. [/QUOTE]
