[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8639206, member: 673826"] Question for the more experienced installers from a complete newb: I'm thinking of putting a high power set up in my 2002 Tahoe. Probably 2-3k watts of bass. I know I will need to upgrade my electrical. Batteries are easy to upgrade...alternators I don't know much about. Looking at the options from Mechman, most of them use a smaller-than-stock pulley and require a 1/2" to 1" shorter belt. Try not to laugh at these stupid questions. 1) How hard is it to install a new, shorter belt? 2) Are all high-amp alts going to be like this? I've watched some Youtube videos and it looks like it *might* be as simple as backing off the tensioner, slapping on a new belt, then tightening the tensioner back up. I don't have any experience with this sort of thing...can a complete moron do it without destroying his engine / causing an accident? [/QUOTE]
