  1. i would have a mechanic do the alt just for the simple fact that if the guy at the shop told u 2 hours with out even looking at the car and where the alt is mounted. I have been working at a shop for 2 and a half years and have done maybe 2 alts. The mechanic can do that part alot faster. But if the guy told u 300 for everything including parts that is a pretty good deal my shop would charge around 360 for labor not including parts. But if u find someone that knows what tey are doing and is willing to teach u i would do it that way.

  2. well it looks like the subs where in parallel but since u didnt say if they where d2 or d4 not sure. If the x marks the spot where the speaker was not hooked up one of the coils waqs not hooked up and that can cause your sub to blow. But if they are d2 they would be at .5 and if they where d4 they would be at 1ohm.

  3. well i can try to help u out a little. I went to an audio school and am mecp certified. The thing is you are not going to just come out of school and be a pro i have been installing profesionally for about 3 years and still learn new things every day. Some schools will help u with job placement but u might want to go talk to a few shops and see if they will be looking for installers after you get out of school. I waited about 4 months after i got back to finally got a job. But i will tell u it is a lot diffrent doing it for fun and doing it profesionally. But is a fun and mostly rewarding job. There will be days you will not want to look at a car and others where u can not wait to get back to work. But hope this helps a little and if u have any other questions let me know.

  4. directed is a company that has about 5 diffrent brands coming off of it ex. viper clifford python avital and a few other. I did a couple of the new ones and one of the ones u are looking at. It seems to be a good unit. The main thing is get it installed by a pro. Because that is half the security making sure everything is hidden to where theifs can not easily get to it to cut the siren wire or disconnect power. But u will not be dissapointed by that model.

  5. you should just go to the coil like stated I have to agree with shyne. I went to audio school and i learned the basics but nothing compares to being in the industry doing it everyday. Its alot diffrent. i am mecp certified and i dont think it means as muh as it used to. I am also ASE certified. I am not trying to be an ass but if u ask a question just take the info and use it to your advantege instead of saying in a nice way that you think u know it all.
