alternator (install)question
Draggin' Waggin'

I'm going to be doing an amp and sub install pretty soon. I'm going to be running a rockford 4 channel 100RMS x 4 and an alpine mono 1000RMS x 1 (I'm running two 12 alpine type r's). So my question is what high power alternator can I put in directly (my stock one is a tight fit already) without too much hassle, in other words what model would fit my 89 DX wagon?

Basically the axle is blocking it from getting it in there because the space I use is in the underside of the car.
Any other ways of getting in besides removing the axle. If not it's not the end of the world cause I can afford to sub it to a shop, it's just I would like to save my money if possible.
The space I was able to get the stock one out was on the driver side. And another question, what stuff do I need to rewire, I know about the power wire but is there anything else I need to rewire?
I'll be doing 4AWG from battery to alternator. 4AWG from alternator to the trunk for amps and shizzle.
4AWG GND from alternator bolt to chassis and again from the gearbox side and the battery to different points on the main frame.
I've had lots of noise in previous Honda's It's a frikkin nightmare trying to get rid of it.
It seems not to difficult to do, and I did find people that were saying to get the alternator in the engine area they removed the master cylinder.
I got the wiring for the install from an amp kit (thanks to my Best Buy employee discount). For the positive cable that goes to the battery, should it have a fuse or not because a part of the cable already has an inline fuse holder, if not I'll just use the other part.
I've got a bunch of high current circuit breakers and I'd be using one on my setup.
yep remove the master thats what i do u dont even get dirty well maybe some greas and brake fluid on your hands....
Good Luck.
But I'm doing the install tomorrow so hopefully all will go well. Then I just got to hook up the amps and subs and new speakers (I'm getting Kappas now, Best Buy started carrying them so I get them for cheap!)
