I'll gladly accept it if you don't like it.. hell, I'll even pay for the shipment....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

hmm, 300amp alt? I don't know if they exist.. maybe in larger industrial size machinery, you might find it, but those kind of generators..wow... would put strain on your car, I think...

Adding on another might be a cheaper option than going all-out on a mega HO alt. If you already have a 160a alt, then maybe you could get a second-hand stock alt just to divide the strain somewhat... guess that give you more power and cheap too...

yeah, the highest i've seen is a 200A alt. above that, they usually have to be custom made. ohio generator will make them for you i'm sure, but they start at like what, $600?

Originally posted by hargenoff 2 10's definitly will work...you might want to try a ported box instead of sealed, ported box i think give better SQ, which you are looking for. My friend has a set of Kappa's, they sound really nice. I recommend them. Alpine HU are great, most you find under $500, just pick one that will suit his needs. Some have mp3 players, some don't. Depends on what he is looking for. Plus it takes ALOT to **** up the alpine HU and make it skip. You can go like 80 over some RR tracks and it won't skip! I personally have the cda7893, payed 350 for it and absoulty love it. has a small built in EQ, lets me **** around with the sound stage, i can controll where the bass can be focused, front or back, has a subwoofer adjuster.....Alpine rocks!!!

i dont know much about audio but i think seal is better for an SQ setup compared to the ported one.

yea, thats what i plan on doing is dual alts.. the guy i bought this 1 from is suppouse to get some more in..but some1 told me that in order for me to run dual alts, ill have to sacrifice my power steering.. and he knows a good bit on cars, but im sure i can have it specially fitted..just have to wait for extra $$$
