Outfitting a 98 Accord LX Sedan

I would say go with an optima red top battery and for the alternator...

I think ours are 90 amps? And you can swap in a 130 amp from a 99-01 odyssey if I remember correctly.

When I do the alternator to battery as part of the big 3 upgrade, what amp fuse should be used with 1/0 wire? I read a bunch on to fuse or not to fuse....Im gonna fuse it....can't hurt.

Probably like 60, 80 maybe... Idk man haha

You can either fuse for the size of the wire, or since you are going way oversize with the wire you can fuse for the max amperage it will put out.

Driver door "DYNOMATTED" :rock:

tweeter is ssaaaaaweeeet!!!

Passenger door next....

How come nobody told me this would take so long :wtf1:

Ordered some 1/0 power wire and new P3 battery terminals and some terminal rings to knock out the big three upgrade.

Fronts are cutting out as soon as everything heats up. When I turn it on sitting in the driveway, no problems..... have not checked voltage off the alternator yet.

I would still do the alternator upgrade as a precaution. Probably wouldn't cost too much either.

Definitely going to be one badass system! :thumbup:

Maybe a gain setting. These might help: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum...ussion/116055-list-usefull-diyma-threads.html

That'll keep me busy....spent tonight studying up on gain settings..... created a 60 hz tone and burned it to a cd and plan on setting the gains using my multimeter. mrxf65 amp pushes 110 watts to a 4 ohm load...should set gain to see 20.97 volts. Right? the mrxm110 pushes 650 watts to a 4 ohm load...should set gain to see 50.99 volts??? Sound about right? All components for the big 3 upgrade are in route as well.
