    sound system in my 88 hatch?

    *possible dumb question alert* would I run into any problems mounting the amp on the floor in the backseat behind either the drivers/pass. seat? we have never had anyone ride in the backseat so that isn't a concern. but what could go wrong?

    one thing I forgot to ask, did you have to modify the bracket at all to get this to fit?

    best deal on an alternator upgrade?

    thanks for the replies everyone. I did do a search before I posted but didn't see anything about a list. I did check Ebay after sgarlic suggested it as well as www.4alterstart.com that 90mustangGT posted. now I have some better options. thank you all.

    best deal on an alternator upgrade?

    I'm wanting to upgrade to a higher amp alt. and I have no idea as to where to look for any bargains. the best I have seen is 200.00 for a 130A alt. is this the cheapest that I can get one at? I'm getting some stereo stuff installed this weekend and I just don't have much faith in my factory alt.

    sound system in my 88 hatch?

    I have to ask since this is what my install will be like, where did you mount your amp? I'm trying to figure on places to put it. I would like to have access to the spare tire so I think I'm very limited on amp locations. the sub box would have to be moved or removed in order to still have this...

    sound system in my 88 hatch?

    thank you for the reply. I'll definately check into getting a capacitor installed with everything. also, that is a really nice setup. but I have to ask, what do you do if you get a flat?

    sound system in my 88 hatch?

    I already have a decent stereo(Kenwood) but want to add a sub/amp combo. I still have the factory alternator. can I safely add an amp without juicing my system too much? I'm not looking for some 1000W amp, just like 100Wx2 or something like that. I was actually looking at a fan cooled Kenwood...

    5.9 Dakota???

    Dakotas where available with the 5.2 as the only V8 until 97 when they introduced the R/T(there was a non R/T model as well). the 5.9(245hp) is the same exact motor no matter what vehicle its installed in. the only difference was the cat-back exhaust installed on the R/Ts which accounted for the...

    5.9 Dakota???

    an R/T dakota can be made to be pretty damn fast but it will definately cost some $. alot more than it would to do any Mustang. you can get heads, new intake and a few other odds/ins directly from any dealer. you can basically do any upgrade that you can on a Mustang. blowers, cams, whatever...
