Default alternator

hey i just wondered if it would be possible to put 2 alternators on my b16a, i took out the ps and ac... and would it be beneficial or no? should i just go with a h/o alt? and what can i do about the ecu thing that limits how much the alternator is used? i want to put a stereo system in like 2000 watts

Never heard of anyone doing dual alternators... just get a high output one.

Electrical Load Detector. For a high output setup, wire the alternator directly to the battery instead of through the underhood fuse box (the "big 3 upgrade"). That will bypass the ELD.
