Honda Accord High Output Alternators

Most Accords on the road are commuters, and most commuters who add an amplifier want it to work without fuss. That is the job of a Honda Accord high output alternator: steady voltage at idle, in traffic, with the bass turned up. This page lists the Mechman options for 1998-2012 Accords with the 2.4L four-cylinder, the 3.0L V6 and the 3.5L V6.

Four-Cylinder or V6: Start Here

On the Accord, the engine decides more than the model year. The 1998-2002 3.0L V6 and the 2004-2007 3.0L V6 use different series. The 2003-2007 2.4L takes one series and the 2008-2012 2.4L takes another, while the 2008-2012 3.5L V6 has its own unit. Pick your year, then your engine, in the Make, Model, Year and Engine search at the top of the page to see only the matching series. That way the Honda Accord high output alternator you order matches your engine's mounts and plug.

How Much Output a Commuter Needs

This collection includes 170, 240 and 320 amp units.

  • 170 amp: a factory head unit with a single amplifier driving one or two subwoofers, the classic sleeper setup.
  • 240 amp: an aftermarket head unit, a sub amp around 2,000 watts and a component amp for the doors.
  • 320 amp: multiple amplifiers or plans to keep adding gear, where you want headroom instead of a second upgrade later.

Long highway drives at steady RPM are easy on any alternator. Stop-and-go traffic at night, with headlights, blower and amplifier all running, is where a weak charging system shows up as dimming lights and soft bass.

Finishing the Upgrade

Pair your Honda Accord high output alternator with the Big 3 and fresh power cable from our amp wiring kits, and consider a stronger battery from our battery collection if the original is tired. An older Accord with a brittle plug may also need a new connector from our alternator harnesses and regulators. All of these are Mechman high output alternators, sold here by an authorized Mechman dealer. For other Honda and Acura models, visit the Honda and Acura alternators page.
