[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8450582, member: 574798"] What year is your accord? If you have an armrest hole in the back, that would be your best bet for a blowthrough. Opening up any hole from rear deck will get you louder regardless but there might be too much pressure going into your grill holes that it'll rattle like crazy. Unless you're willing to just cut a giant hole on top and make it act like a port. Also, about rewinding your alternator.. It might not be a good idea because the casing might get too hot and cause issues. I got an alternator rewound from 80a to 160a before and I had heating issues within a short period of time. It eventually gave out within a few months and had to get a new H/O alt built for me for it to be able to handle the power properly. I would ask [URL="mailto:"]mike@singeralternators.com[/URL] to see if he is able to help you rewind it with better parts and casing. He's one of the best in the alt business so he should be able to give you some advice on that. But I just wouldn't recommend it because it'll shorten its lifespan and you'll just be left with a broken alt. If you're only planning to run 1000-1500w, then a battery upgrade and big 3 might just work for you. Try to utilize getting the most out of your enclosure so you don't have to dump a lot of money into electrical upgrades. [/QUOTE]
