2nd
will 0 gauge power wire fit underneath the carpet

will 96 side skirts fit on the car?

thx in advance

1) those tires are too big and will rub if your car is semi low at all. look into some 45 series sidewalls. (205/45/16) is what i reccomend.

2)yes it will fit... but thats a damn big wire... are you powering 4 15" subs?

3) yes those skirts will work as well. you just have to get creative and use screws in non stock mounting locations to hold it up snug

Power wire no problem ( but I have a question for you ) What if anything are you going to do to get the amount of poser you need to the back of the car. I read the part about the other battery. But the alternator only puts out like 70 amps I think on that car. Reason I am asking is because I just ran onto the same problem with a coupe that I am doing.

205-45-16 or it may have been 215-45-16 was the largest tire my son could use without rubbing on his hatch. He was lowered and had rolled his fenders as well and was using GC/Koni setup I think on his


Skirts I have no idea about, The part manual has a differant part number but that dosen't mean you can't use the part in all instances.

the extra batter helps from taking a huge drain on the alternator. i had 2 memphis mojo 15's in a hatch with a mojo 2400 watt amp running them with a 200amp fuse in line and my lights never dimmed when it was turned up. the extra battery helps a lot!!!! hello red top!!!!! oh it hit 160db

I am using 2 battery abd a cap. But still have lights dimming if rocking hard. Hell I am 50 years old so my rocking ain't that hard I would not think. So I have investigated through the local alternature rebuild shop and found that the Nipidenzo alt. can be bosted to put out 140 amps. however the mitsubusi can not. SO in order to save my back from changing the alt several times from burn out because of charging so hard all the time I am just going to have it boosted in the beginning and see if that works out for me.

Not knocking your system but I hit 153 with only mids and highs in the IASKA finals in 1999 if I remember the right year in a S-10 the subs side of the amp board blew the main fuse when powered up and I didn't catch it in time to stop the clock. I switched to Orion red HCCA amps after that and never had no more problems. I am even running 2 of the old amps today in the F-250 I use around the shop. Of course my days are over as far as compitition goes. I just want it to sound good and get attention if need be. 8>))

i raise the BS flag. no way in hell you did even a 150db legal with a stock alt... i know youll try to tell me blah blah i swear. but no. trust me im a long term dbdrag competitor and not happening..

mattison187

you competed with 1 amp running your highs and your subs.... hifonics goliath? only amp off the top of my head that will do it.

Headman

You need to reread the post these crackerjack. I do not know where you are getting one alt. from I never said 1 alt. I said in my S-10... However I was wrong on the year. It was 2000 and I was also wrong on the db it was 149. I double checked this am when I got to the shop. I was running Orion amps several of them. I have been into the db drags for years as well. Owning a car stero business for 25 years now you about have to be involved. I do not need to bs you over a db drag. It is not important. I use to be very competitive back several years ago. Now I am happy just to have a radio. However I do need to be able to make some noise if need be because I am in the business. In my hatch that I am working on now I only have 1 alt. and it is coming out to be boosted to 140 amps. I think then I will not have any problems with the light dimming if I crank it up. I am running a old school MATTS D class ( chrome one) and a pair of 12 I have Kenwood head unit and kenwood mid and high amp with teh kenwood speakers. Maybe that makes it clearer for you. Sorry for any confussion.

mattison187

the BS thing was to the kid saying he did 160 with 2 batts.

killerB16A

im serious 160db. it was 2 memphis mojo 15's with the mojo amp in a 10 cube ft box ported. with one red top in the hatch and a red top under the hood running the stock gsr alt..........please do the research on this product befor you bash me........it was done at a car toys event.

killerB16A

kid.........lol hahahaha

Do not get 45 series tires you won't like them.

205/50/16 will work

225/50/15 drag radials are fun though.

could give a **** less about bumping

Sideskirts wouldn't look right from an ek on an eg IMO.
