Ford Taurus High Output Alternators

Plenty of first real systems end up in a Taurus trunk: a pair of subwoofers, one amplifier and a commute every day. The car keeps running, but the headlights dim on every bass note. This collection lists each Taurus high output alternator matched to 1990-1995 3.8L and 1991-1999 3.0L OHV fitments, so a daily driver can carry a proper amplifier without straining the charging system.

A Daily Driver That Hits Hard

A Taurus build is usually practical. It gets driven to work, parked outside and expected to start every morning. The audio goes in the trunk, the amplifier mounts to the rear deck or a false floor, and the owner wants it to play without draining the battery in a parking lot. An alternator with more output keeps the battery topped up between short trips.

A Taurus high output alternator also suits owners who demo the system at meets. Once the engine is running again, the extra output brings the battery back up faster after a long listening session.

Enter your Taurus in the finder above to choose between the two covered engines: the 1990-1995 3.8L V6 and the 1991-1999 3.0L OHV V6. Only the OHV version of the 3.0L is listed, so check your engine before ordering. Both engines use the same alternator series.

How to Pick Output for a Sedan Build

  • 170 Amp: one amplifier and a subwoofer, played daily at sensible levels.
  • 240 Amp: a single 2,000 W class amplifier that sees regular hard use.
  • 320 Amp: two or more amplifiers, or a sleeper sedan built for sound-off events.

Every unit on this page uses a billet housing. Billet is machined from solid aluminum, while a standard housing is cast; billet adds stiffness and a finished look. Options include Black, Machined, Chrome and Polished.

A Taurus high output alternator is one part of the job. Add the Big 3 with our amp wiring kits, and consider a fresh battery if yours is several years old. The Mercury twin has its own page: Sable owners can shop here. Mechman high output alternators for other Ford-built cars are in our Ford collection.
