Post Number: 295 Registered: Feb-06 | you can do that but i wouldn't until you get a ho alt. nate from excessive amperage is doin a group buy this month. just email him for a quote, i emailed him and he got back to me the next day and the quote he gave me was amazing. you definately need to get on that list. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/217018.html |
