removed!!!

If there are alternate fans that fit without modification from the parts store let me know. thanks

Sorry for terminology confusion. Â Also do a search on "battery regulator / isolator". This will give more information and possible way's of doing what you want. Still look at upgrading the electrical system. good luck, gary

E-Mann is right the battery regulator / isolator is the best way to go if you are going to run 2 batteries. An upgraded alternator and / or electrical system is still recommended. Good luck, gary

Starquestpilot is right sounds like antenna turn on instead of amp turn on. gary

Kurt, I have tried this and unfortunately in the Starquest it does not work well. There is too much distortion and feedback. I suspect it is from the electrical system being marginal from the factory. I would upgrade the head unit and the sky is the limit. You have already upgraded the alternator so power should not be an issue as long as the rest of the electrical system and the car is functioning properly. good luck gary

This is tough becouse great sound systems are weight. Also by removing most of your interior you've affected how well your system will sound. If your trying to create a race car then delete the stereo system all together. Another alternative would be to create a mobile sound system that can be removed easily when you race. Talk more about what your intentions are as far as the car and how it is driven. Good luck. gary

5.25 doors 6.5 rear Run seperates they will give you the best sound if driven with the right amount of power from a good amp. Place the tweeters facing your listening position. Tweeters are directional and will need to be placed for your listening environment. Do not waste your time if you do not plan on addressing your electrical system! This is in no way to discourage you. My opinion is that the electrical system is inadequate and should be looked at if you are upgrading your sound system or not. Search through previous postings on electrical system if you need more help or let me know. gary

"A cap is just as hard on the electrical system as an amp. Something to consider, a cap is capable of instantaneous power discharge, but it's also capable of instantaneous power draw. So, in all reality, the alternator has to work just as hard if not harder, to run a system utilizing caps." A cap charges like a battery. It is not instantaneous. I will say it is faster than a battery while charging, though. As far as a cap causing an alternator to work harder, it actually will help it work easier. Once the cap is charged it will help absorb spikes in power draw that the battery / alternator can not keep up with. good luck, gary "Nope, actually the reason for the resistor to charge a cap is because of it's ability to instantly charge. If it were a slow charge device, it would be defeating it's purpose of storing peak on demand current, as after it sustained an amp through a transient burst, it wouldn't have the ability to charge back up for the next transient. A large cap's initial charge rate is fast enough to possibly blow most inline fuses. And as far as it not being a burden on an battery or alternator, think of it this way. Any electrical device poses a load potential. A cap is not a 'free' load device, it requires current to put out current. That would be like saying adding a second battery to an alternator won't hinder the alternator's performance. The alternator would have to work to charge are secondary storage devices. If the alternator has a tough time keeping the voltage of the car at 14.4volts, the cap isn't going to help. The cap will merely 'attempt' to sustain a steady 14.4volts to the amp, not the rest of the car. " Do a search on the internet on capacitors and there charge rate. You will better understand a capacitor and its characteristics. I'm not here to make anyone look ignorant or stupid. I just want people to be better educated about the information they receive. I agree as far as the electrical system. It should be upgraded anytime you attempt to run high power amps. gary

I have the old version of HKS cat back that was 65mm. These are probably getting hard to find. Question? Has anyone encountered problems with clearance at the rear near the axle? I have had my car in the exhaust shop twice to try and fix the rattle and rub. I've had the exhaust ovaled to help with clearance, no luck. I would imagine 3" has to be even tighter. A little of background info on my car might explain the lack of room. My car has the tokico struts installed and suspension techniques springs. Also using suspension techniques front and rear sway bars. Additional 150lbs of weight in the rear of car ( stereo equipment ). (Car lowered by almost 2" with suspension and weight additions) Any ideas and fit of the 3" on similiar suspension layouts. thanks in advance, gary
