Hello Board,

After a post on whether or not bass was an alternator killer, I proceeded to have 2 12" subs and a 1000 watt amp installed in my 300E. 5 days later my battery died. I think my alternator might have went out, but after leaving my car for a couple of hours it re-started fine. I took my car to the shop and had a 200 amp alternator installed in my car just in case. My dash lights are brighter and so are my interior lights, my windows and sunroof move a lot faster also. I can swear my car feels a lot faster! It still has the hesitation problem, but when I press the gas at freeway speeds my car rockets off, even with the 18 inch rims.

Could a new alternator make the car faster?

Bass might have killed my old alternator.

BTW I have The (possibly dead)alternator and 2 month old voltage regulator(great condition) for sale!
