[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5721743, member: 601690"] Pete, I would stick with the G51 units, unless you are able to remove the stock battery tray, possibly extend the factory wiring, and fabricate your own battery hold down. The stock size replacement is an easy drop in replacement. That is why I recommended the G51 batteries. Now the HC1800 is a G24 battery. It is a little bigger like you said. It would give you the ability to power 400W RMS more audio. Like I said above, you may have to modify the vehicle to get it to fit. I like to try keeping my car as stock as possible in case I want to sell it. That way I can simply put the stock stuff back and keep my gear. Some of the audio places have very good techs working there, but others are not much more experienced that you are. You would not believe some of the horror stories I have heard. Make sure you get a solid reference for any shop you work with. All of the good shops should have pictures of their installs and many happy customers for you to talk to. If they resist or rush you, they might be hiding something. It might be worth paying a few extra bucks to have it done by a better shop. [/QUOTE]
