TeamHT Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Are you doing a dual alt setup or just swapping the alts? Either way my vote is do some work. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I would let a shop that ONLY deals with alts, or other mechanics, I wouldnt have a car audio shop do a alt install, only for the simple fact its probably not something they do all the time, and could fuck up something The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones
teamjeffrey Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Posted December 27, 2010 it's a single alt and upgrading the charge wires i went to a few mechanic shops they told they turned me down and who would do it was a bunch of a** holes one audio shop told me they only install ones they sell which was stinger and another shop has someone else do it for them people who have bought from me Team Bassick (ALPINE) Purplehaze nidus head unit sony dsx-s310btxsubs 2 12 incriminator audio king of basssubs amp incriminator audio 20.1mids/highs mids/highs amp incriminator audio 6.4equalizer clarioncrossover interfirealternator 1 mechman 240ampbattery's xs power 1 d2100 2 d3100sky high car audio 1/0 awg ofc wires memphis car audio 1/0 ofcxs power xs flex 4 awg sky high car audio 8 gauge ofc sky high car audio 12 gauge ofc t spec rca check out my building log http://www.stevemead...frey-build-log/http://www.stevemead...d-other-things/check out audio gear i have for salehttp://www.stevemead...51#entry1595151
Superjay Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I'd go to a speed shop...someplace that knows how to fabricate with metal, if necessary. not a stereo shop, not a mechanic...a hot rod shop would be best Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it
TeamHT Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I don't know, its hard but its not that hard you need a shop to swap the alts. I hate the engine bay and layout but its doable. But if your bent on a shop...I would go to a mechanics shop specializing in VWs. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
