Kicker 0 guage mixed with some off brand 0guage.

Stinger expert RCA's

12 guage speaker wire

lightning audio 50 farad cap... yeah yeah i know, but it does do it's job for me, had it for 4 years.

Dont know about gasser Dodges, but I know my Ford PSD can be had from the factory with dual HO alts for a total of 400ish amps, and its about a 150-200 dollar option. Might swing by the dealer and get a quote on parts ect. Same would go for a dual underhood battery system. All diesels have em, the parts off of a Cummins equipped truck might fit as well.

Hahah WHOOOPS - its a Dakota. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

None of that mattered at all...

I doubt anything from a 3/4 ton truck is fitting on a Dakota. Its not even a 1/2 ton.

That problem with the seals is common in the CX-7, Speed3 and Speed6(I used to own a MS3)

That's about the ONLY problem that's come out of them

I'm assuming you got the 4.7 V8? Good luck with it, much much worse of a motor than that Mazda you got rid of.

 

[cx-7heaven 10+ year member]

No, i got the 3.7 v6. As far as I'm concerned the motor can blow every week with the lifetime powertrain warranty on it, I wont get screwed on the deal.

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Man, I would have never traded that ride for a Dakota, but I guess if your having problems with it and it was no longer warrantied I would.

Those Cx7's are so nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Sounds like you got some nice gear going in. Good luck with the install.

My little girl approves!

 

[mobeious 10+ year member]

lookin good take a da grinder to those pods and they will be lookin nice GL with the build

 

[cx-7heaven 10+ year member]

They will be sanded down, when they are done. I think I'll use fleckstone paint on em.... maybe the grey with black flecks.
