What amp alternator would be needed in my rig to supply enough amps to run an 8 or 12 pill class c amp?
well a sraight 8 pull around 150 amps .. and a 12 pill pulls 215 well thats what fat boys site says so if this alt going to be only the amp ?
Thanks for the info. Just trying to get some info on it. Thinking about getting an 8 pill. Don't wanna use a maul, alternator is 135 amp so I'll have to get a bigger alternator.
Class C? Running FM or CW?
No, data.
Not sure what radio your running but you can get out just fine with something like an X-Force 200HD, or 400HD, or if you have a low powered radio an X-Force 1x4 amp will also work.
So something like say a Stryker 497 into the 400HD will get you mucho watts. In the end though you better make sure you sink some money into good coax and a properly installed antenna system.

Thanks Driver. I will be using a magnum S9, roadking 56 mic with belden cord, LMR 400 coax, Blackslcapone flatside antenna, dumping a 2 pill X force (2 2290's) into a straight 8 pill fat boy.
Someone please talk to this truck driver about that antenna he thinks is flat side.
