i do want to get a h.o alternator i think that is a problem with the amp overheating

i hate this intrepid **** its so hard to work on everything is a pain the ass to get to and the ******** at best buy are the ones that put the power wire on the fuse relay center and i just copied them i also found out they grounded out my highs amp to a small bolt under my seat and they didnt even scratch the paint off that is why you dont take it to profesionals

ps my grandma gave me this intrepid thats why i have it it only had 35 thousand miles

There's nothing wrong with your vehicle, OP. It's fine for someone your age. Worry about getting a nice ass car once you've grown up and make your own living...

big 3 is 0 gauge from alt to underhood positive , engine block to negative on battery under hood , and finally negative on under hood battery to very secure grounding point on body under the hood. you should be set after that.

how many feet should i order

High output alternators can get expensive depending on where you buy them.

You could always look at the following links, but none of them are cheap;

Some people also buy h/o alts on ebay, but I have zero experience with those and find the prices too good to be true.

As far as choosing an alt for your vehicle, simply specify the make and model of your vehicle when you're searching...

Break out a rule/tape measure & write down close, approximate measurements. Order an extra 10 feet or so just to cover blunders...

AND BE SURE NOT TO CUT YOUR LENGTHS TOO SHORT!

around 150 to 250 should be ok. the one on the car is probably 90-110

I'd shoot for 200+ amps. I wouldn't call a 150 amp alt h/o by any means. It's hardly even worth the effort really. If you have to drop the money, might as well get something big enough to cover modest upgrades. I highly doubt this kid will continue to run Kicker Comps once he learns more about car audio...

wtf this is ****ign ********

Lift up the front end of the car using the jack and put it down on a pair of jack stands. Pop the hood. Remove the connection on the negative terminal on the battery with a wrench, then follow that up by taking off the positive terminal.

#

Step 2

Unbolt the lower splash shield from the vehicle using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket, then unbolt the lower radiator support and set it to the side. Loosen the bolts on the alternator, located in the lower driver's side corner of the engine.

#

Step 3

Push the alternator towards the middle of the engine and then pull the belt off the alternator. Unbolt and unplug the connections on the alternator with a 3/8-inch ratchet and socket and your hands.

#

Step 4

Remove both bolts from the alternator using an open-end wrench and the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Lift it down and out from under the vehicle and set it to the side.
