you can do it with stock alt but this is you really want biggest wire you can ideal 1/0, i myself only have 2 gauge with stock alt cuz thats biggest wire i could get at the time. but really anything bigger then the stock wire will help. bigger wire just gives better flow, kinda like your graden hose smaller hose more pressure you need to get the water thru bigger hose easier it is to get the same amount of water thru. hope that kind gives you an idea of what it does yea it made sence, but im kinda using wat i have because i love car audio but i have very little money to work with.

i liked my alero when it was new... but being a stupid kid and getting my car for free wasnt the best thing for me cuz i beat the living piss out of it... the first winter i had it i pulled the ebrake on ice and i guess it was alot more slippery then i thought and i went up a 8foot tall snow drift backwards and had to drive off it.... lots of fun in this car but lots of stupid shit has been done to it... i like to ramp my car and ebrake it ALOT so i have no shocks, im always replacing tires, and i usually dont have gas another option i was thinking of was... making the alero into my competition car because my friend who has a chrystler 300m has 2 12" type rs in the same box i have running off of a alpine mrp-m1000 and i have a 12" kicker crv and a p.o.s. 12" sony xplod running off a 900w kenwood amp and my subs blew his out of the water which rilly got me thinking that subs r rilly loud in my car because its so much smaller. and then ide get me a new daily driver with a decent system. -

i meant like, rims, paint, tint, and take my stock spoiler off. cuz aleros = worst car to find aftermarket parts for. but if i were to buy a new car wat kinda car do u suggest. ium 6'2" and i was looking at either a 2001 acura Tl or a 01 tahoe or expedition. -

no but i live with my dad. and im still in high school. -
So i have to make a rilly hard choice right now... i have a 2001 alero gls coupe 3.4L V6 that has a little bit of rust, a few dents here and there and needs a few things fixed on it. i am getting a few grand like 4-7000 and i was wondering if i should just go all out on the alero with performance, looks, and audio/video or sell the alero get a new car and get a few of the necesities like rims, subs, speakers, cd player and so on just to make the car look and sound a little better

ADD / ADHD
HotRodHam replied to HotRodHam's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
see what i bolded? when u have add/adhd u can't do that and i cant. like ill stop for maybe 5 minutes but then im going on again -
so yesterday at school my friend with add gave me an adderall because i asked him if i could have one to see if it would help me stay focused and do better in school. and i dont think i have ever worked that hard in school EVER. so i was wondering does that mean i have add? cuz i went through the symptoms of add/adhd and i have 9/14 of them EDIT: i stayed on track and didnt get distracted even once. my typical day at school is probably 50% staring off into space 25% doodling about subs and the system i want 20% getting off task 5% working on my work yesterday was 100% work not even joking i didnt drift off track once...

college classes
HotRodHam posted a topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
ok so after high school i want to open my own shop where i do installs, box building, and fiberglass work i have no idea wat all i need to study for this though. i graduate this year so i need help finding this out. -
i have ideas in my head for what my system setup would be in my alero, it has a small trunk too. i was going to make a box and push it all the way towards the back of my trunk then just seal around it. then cut out parts of my rear deck and fiber glass something like a hole in it and some speaker mounts then that way i dont have to have my seats folded down and itll still b decently loud. theres an idea for u, just to tell u lol
