[QUOTE="Kenny Pollock, post: 2181095, member: 562880"] Well an update: My 18" Fi BTL is now running on Knu 8 gauge. Tom soldered 8 gauge together and stuffed the shit out of the terminals...but it's in there. My P880PRS is installed and it's gorgeous. Not to mention the big increase in sound quality from that out cheapy JVC deck. I love it to death, will never replace it unless it's gone bad. nVRuckus was so nice as to give me free RCA cables to replace the very thin RCAs I had going to the 20.1... and when I spent 30 minutes running it down the car and behind the dash perfectly... they didn't work. Was pissed off, but went back to the thin shit for now. I ordered 6M of Karma RCAs from Knu, should be here sometime next week. Spent today installing the 200A alternator from Excessive, doing the big 3 and waxing the car with Tom. The alternator got damaged in shipping: the lip of the pulley was bent/warped. Tom grabbed the dermal and grinded the lip a little and we crossed our fingers. It works great, although I have been unsuccessful in finding a shop that can bench it for me. Also, it makes a wining sound which Tom's dad said was a case of funky bearings. His dad said I'd get a couple thousand miles out of it... which worries me. Voltage ranges from low 12s to high 12s at idle, 13-14.2 at 2000 RPM. End result: Well, it's ****ing loud. The difference in loudness is rather large from the last deck.. my ears are hurting bad, and Tom and I both felt our body hair stand up and a slight breeze. My 6" aero ports should be coming next week, and October 2nd or so Robin, Tom and I are getting together and constructing a new box. ~5 cubes, pluggable aeros for daily/comp box! Goodnight. [/QUOTE]
