um the factory fused it for a reason, also the reason a lot of cars have fusible links,you may have a fried alternator but you won't have a burned car. i've worked with automotive electricity for twenty years as a serious hobby and sometimes profession,and thats the stupidest thing i've ever...

BOLT IT DOWN! if you get in a wreck that thing is coming right through the seat back. anybody see the fifth gear episode where they did this? even a tool box in the back went off like a grenade in a wreck, destroyed the seat back and sprayed tools everywhere. that speaker box weighs a lot more...

looking for a used line level converter with a gain control,only need two channels. i added a datsun voice module to my 86 and i need to convert the speaker level output to line.so i can use an unused amp channel for the voice.

well i was saying to run it to the starter because it's easy to add the wire to the starter lug, then it will connect right to your battery through the terminal. this way if you have to add an extra wire it's eaisier then trying to add it to the battery terminal. it also looks a lot cleaner.

yea i have heard in cold weather our starters on these old accords can pull up to 350 amps. i was going max current draw to leave some safety room in the wire. going to put in an odyssey battery and it can produce over a thousand amps on short circuit,so plenty capable of popping the fuse in a...

anybody know what the starter pulls on an average honda? i have an 86 accord with the 2.0 so it pulls a bit more then a regular honda, i am relocating my battery so i want to add a main battery fuse, but i need to figure out the max amp draw of the starter. the cable is fine,i am using 2 gauge...

get rid of the stock wire from the alternator to the fuse box if you are going high output. run a 1/0 or 2/0 battery wire to the starter motor,then use the starter lug to attach your heavy wire from the alternator. good connection point.

ok another one, tell this to the people who tell you this crap, the alternator and the battery are connected together on the same circuit, the battery can produce way more current then any high output alternator ever can, so why aren't the electronics fried? all regular alternators for...
