[QUOTE="xluben, post: 2228918, member: 568852"] Here is what my setup will be as of next weekend: 99 Honda Accord Sedan, 4cyl, manual stock alternator (i believe 80A) stock battery Alpine CDA-9856 HU w/iPod hookup two AA Arsenal 12's 3.5 ft^3 @ 32 Hz box Sound Stream PIC1.1700D amp 4AWG to the amp Pioneer REV 6.5 coaxial's in the doors Profile AP400 amp 8AWG to that amp Here's what I'm thinking of doing next: 1/0 for Big Three and dedicated run to soundstream amp $100+ plus and afternoon of putting it in If I did that should i move the 4AWG to the small amp or is 8 enough? Raammat for the trunk lid and front doors $150-200 Could I do the install in one afternoon (?) HO alternator $200+ Looking at these: [URL="http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=10040&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/common/sitesearch.nhtml%3Fquery%3Daccord&catuid=10013"]http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=10040&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/common/sitesearch.nhtml%3Fquery%3Daccord&catuid=10013[/URL] [URL="http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=12446&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/common/sitesearch.nhtml%3Fquery%3Daccord&catuid=10013"]http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=12446&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/common/sitesearch.nhtml%3Fquery%3Daccord&catuid=10013[/URL] Are either of these decent quality? I'm leaning toward the 135A because of cost, is it worth it? Would I be able to install one of these myself? (if not, i'll pretty much rule it out) New Battery $100+, which one? Should I put it in the trunk or replace the stock one? or lastly, just live with what I have now, it's good enough. What do you think would be the most worthwhile upgrade? And which one(s) are necessary? I don't have much free money or time, so that'll end up being another factor in which one (if any) of these things I end up doing. Right now I'm leaning towards the big three and 1/0 run to amp, because it's relatively cheap, and i'm confident i could do it correctly in an hour or two. [/QUOTE]
