    My friend........My advice would be to go back to the stock sound system, leave it off, roll the windows down and enjoy the sound of the motor.

    If you take out the alternator and take it to a repair place they can add at least 10% to the power output. They rework the unit. This is an old number and may have changed but it is something to look into.

    Good luck

    Sounds like you're ready for a little "roadside welding" with that. ;)

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    Silver, you may want to elaborate on your story. Remember, you wanted to go super max and it burned up the wiring.

    So, you had the shop drop the output a bit...added some heavier duty wire and all was fine.


    Patpong,

    I don't have any issues with my Alt. I drive at night, AC on, all lights including the driving lights....fans running.

    Are you sure that your alt. just doesn't need a standard rebuild?

    What year D do you have? I know the early Diablo's had a whole host of wiring issues.
