i found the problem with flip outs is that you have to put that spacer in because when it flips open it isnt perfectly vertical, almost tilted forward a few degrees due to the shape of the dash. i personally didnt mind it but got tired of people asking..."is it supposed to be like that"

UPS man deleivered this to me today....

well...come to findout after i tryed to install this unit rewlized it didnt fit right....it was kinda weird to me so i decided to give Mechman call to find out what was going.....and he told me the top brackets do not line up on this type of car ...but my EA 250 amp alt did????....... but he said just use to bottom 2 bolts to bolt it up and it will hold it...i said are you sure he said yes sir it will hold it so i tryed it and it works.....

.

but this kinda seems like my last big alternator....am i suppose to see a big difference between my factory alt and upgrade alt?? b/c when my factory alt i was doing the same volts as i am not with this upgraded alt......i really do not like that i paid $400 for another alt that does the same **** thang as my factory one....reading 14.2 hot.....IDK about cold yeah ....my car was already hot when i installed it.... but i guess the upgraded one is suppose to be able to take a heavy load and keep up and factory aqlt wont correct?

Might still be able to fit, I got a Double Din in my 04 Crown Vic and the only mod I had to make was to dremel the stock radio mounting tabs off. After that, space is tight behind it, but it just slides right in, my JVC fit fine.

And my bad Stilltippin863, got your PM but just been busy, im on AIM now if you still need help.

Exactly, plus I always set my Bass/Treble setting to flat, that way I can feed a speaker its full RMS and not worry about overworking the driver.

see the thang is this radio does not have a bass/treble....it is all in a big eq like the one i posted and i dont know what is bass and what is treble....lol

did ur factory alt have a black case on the back of the alt? there where like 3 different types of those alts ... the holes should line up if its for that car

yes sir it does have a little black case on the back of the factory alt....and the top holes dont line up with the bracket... so just the bottom 2 bolts are holding it in place...???????

Mechman said it is for my car just this style alt it not made to line up with the top bracket.....i also sent him an e-mail asking him about the volts....at this point i am not happy with it...
