holy shit batman. tl;dr, but i havea 97 accord, and can tell you, you ARE going to need better batteries, and a BETTER alt. And good luck with a h/o alt. They just absolutly love our model of car. Call kyle from dcpower and tell him you have a 97 accord and see what he tells you. You dont seem to know enough to go balls to walls full out this quickly. Hell even i dont and ive been goin at this for a year or so... also, if you think that alt is gonna charge 4 batts, its not. I burned the shit out of mine doing that.
