    High output alt is never a bad idea, IMO. I only blew up one stock alt. I forget exactly what I was running back then.. might have been two 15s on 1200wrms and an amp for the mids and highs, but the stock alt couldn't keep up, went thru several batteries and then the alt finally failed(took a while to happen but eventually did). HO Alternator was the best purchase I made for my SOHC when I had it.

    Hope everything works out for you.

    Thank you,

    I am drawing out a schematic right now for my stereo, and battery relocation. I find it easier to get a complete list for everything this way.

    I have been reading the battery relocation process on Stealth316, I am confused as to why he ran a ground from the rear just to tie it to the chassis, that could of been done in the rear.

    I like the fact that you can indeed fit two runs and hide it. I like it because I will be running two runs of 1/0GA to feed the two Batcap 2000's that will be in the rear, this way if I do need to buy a H/O alternator I have the proper GA to support the amperage for that length of wire.

    Also if I remember correctly, (dangerous phrase I know) The alternator on the SOHC is 90 AMP....the alternator on the TT / VR4 is 110 AMP.

    BTW what brand H/O alternator did you use?

    You are correct on the amperage difference, SOHC was 90 amp and certainly could have factored into its eventual death. I used a 200 amp Excessive Amperage alt in my install.

    I talked with Nate about my Saturn, He turned me to Ray @ Batcap. I told him I already had a 180A alt in my Saturn, He replied "Then talk to Ray at Batcap, see what he recommends with what you already have."

    So if I need to step up to a H/O alt Net will be the first person I get a quote from.

    Well here is the schematic:



    Everything in red is what I have in my possession. All the numbers are part numbers for KnuKonceptz products.

    that's great and all...but i'm talking about the actual interior panel being modified; not just the speaker mount.

    I wonder how that would sound/workout, but I think for a more OEM and badass look, I'd like to do the whole panel. I'm into seeing my subs go crazy on a heavy bass line lol, That's not your car is it Joe?
