just bought a 99 acura integra. 100,000 miles. very clean.. picked it up for 5000.00

want to know what kinda of set up's you are running. i plan on putting my 2 12'' FI SSD'S in a ported box, with a new 2500wrms amp running them. alpine x type comps. up front. alpine dub din, stinger audio batt up front and a batt in back..

what is the output of these factory alt's??

I wouldn't recommend wasting money on that power unless you intend on upgrading your subs.

He should be worrying about his alt.

Takes power to make power, so yeah I'd be pretty concerned about the electrical system in that car before the subs.

That tiny alt. and battery isn't going to like 200A + of current draw.

i have an integra and u will definitely have to upgrade ur alternator. i think the stock alt only puts out 90A or so. Have fun trying to install those comps in the doors. Took me awhile to installs my comps since i ran new speaker wires, had to make mdf rings, and the freaking door panel was a ***** to take off and put back on if it is ur first time working on an integra. also it kinda **** that i cant install my AVIC N2 without the screen hitting the shift knob. the only way i saw someone install a flip out screen was in the air vents. But its a good little trustworthy car to drive for 200,000+ miles to come.

I have the type X componets as well. Just make sure you give them a good amount of power, cause they seem to shine with more than rated. Although I wouldn't go crazy. Mine are sitting in my garage right now as I have to make an MDF ring as well, so just running cheap MB Quart componet set.

Good luck and have fun. Also don't turn into a *** like SAG3, who is a member here and has one of those cars. Then again he was always a ***.

What model integra is it? Any pictures, I can imagine it has a body kit and all that for some reason...

 

[SethPhillips 5,000+ posts]

i bought it off of the OG owner took very good care of it. came from las vegas. there are no cosmetic aftermarket parts on it what so ever other then tint. and wheels. and factory spoiler... it's about 4'' off the ground tuckin the 16'' wheel's when the adjustible shocks are laid out... right now i have it all the way up due to it being winter time..... looks really good when it's laid out tuckin the wheel's.

i just took picks of it today.. will post them as soon as i get home.

the rear speakers are an absolute ***** to get at though
