Slowing down the alternator means you reduce its power output capability at any given engine RPM. If you load up on electrical accessories, you may run into a problem where the electrical charging system cannot keep up with your load.
So Nawaaz, no 5,000 Watt electronic sound system for you!

You'll just have to make do with the exhaust sound system your installing instead!
