no, i have a removeable fiberglass sub box that i made into the spare wheel well. it has 2 speed connectors and is only 23# with the sub. i have a small amp, but nothing too serious.



i am looking to simply up the voltage/amperage. i remember that when i used to compete USAC car audio, i got an alternator from a 5.0 ford shitbox and re-worked the wiring on it. it was also a dual output so that i did not need to use an isolator....i just think that with the underdrive pulley that i get the best current output, and would like it to be more substantial. lights dim when i tap the brake, dim/brighten when i press the accelerator in neutral.....and so on.....
