It ran out of time. Expired yesterday, it's why I was researching my car and on the FORMUS, instead of killing grubs on GOW2.

yeah, do a quest alt if you have, a large stereo, other than that it seems useless.

I know a stock car with one, and he had some minor issues, everything seems fine in the long run tho.

I probably wouldn't even do a larger alternator if I was running more than 1000 watts in my sound system. Just do the big 3 and you'll get good results from your stock system. Just upgrading to a bigger alternator for no reason just over charges your battery.

The Big 3 for a Mazda3:http://www.mazda3forums.com/in...092.0

Same concept for everything else.

He didn't connect to the positive lead of the alternator for his amp.

"Then from the alternator back to the battery, run it through a fuse. See the diagram at the end of this post to determine which size you need. I got my fuse holder and fuse from KnuKoncteptz at http://www.knukonceptz.com/pro...lders# and mounted it on top of the fuse box. I also left enough room to mount the other fuse that will be for my power wire when I do my system. Only gripe I had was that it didn't come with mounting screws, so I had to steal the screws from my amp which is yet to be installed. I guess I'll have to improvise when it comes time to mount the amp."

He's referring to mounting spot for his second fuse, next to the fuse in this pic.

Well, I'm gonna get ready folks! RAZI! I hope you get a show like Dr. Brennen did (the show is based on a real person, most of the first 2 seasons were based on her actual work).

Catch you all on the flip side of daytime.

Yeah, I think it's odd myself, but I haven't seen other Big 3 walkthroughs, so I don't know if he's retarded with that or what. I'll check out other walkthroughs later. I haven't researched it enough because I wont be doing that mod anytime soon.

I want Zach to come back, I'd willingly sacrifice Sweets for him.

Hulu.com has some of the episodes from Season 5.

I'd go to Kentucky and bring back some moonshine.

Otherwise, not really another real reason to go.
