I had to unbolt the motor mounts and slide the whole motor forward and up to put my alternator in..

Same here

Because the love for bass? We're all bassheads here and to power a high power amp you need a HO alternator there's no question about that. How much we're willing to sacrifice for the hobby is up to each person. That's why I'm getting rid of my honda and getting a tahoe. Import cars make it a b*^tch to change the alternator //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

tighten a belt?

thought you need to get a new belt period for them because the pullies are smaller?

My question for you is, why? Do you have ludicrous amounts of time and money to spend on something so wasteful lol. I can see how important spl is for you but, don't people usually do builds in a car with room in it....?
not intending to bash you, but there has to be something that makes it worth going through all that.

Why not? Car audio is my stress release and brings me joy. I bought my car for the gas mileage when gas prices were almost $4 a gallon. Yea its small but I still have 2 18"s and thats more than a lot of people with way bigger cars. Ive daily driven my car walled off for over 3 years now. You get used to it.

thats just plain retarded engineering right there.

Yep.. Took me 9 hours by myself. Had to use a come-along to pull the motor forward and up while I put it in from under the car.

Alternator companies that can't make good power at idle use smaller pulleys to compensate. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif

My DC does 200amps at idle with a stock size pulley.

Your 200a DC alt does full power 200a at 600-800rpm idle? I just randomly looked up a DC alt for a F150 and a 250a alternator idle outputs 180a.
