Anyway pictures.

^^^^Thanks, it always takes time to clean parts and prep them for paint. I decided to go semi gloss black. Black is too shiny to me, and primer is not shiny enough. Plus I didnt want the parts to look like they belong to a trailer queen. I have one of those already. lol



What kind of system u got and how much was that alternator
The alt cost me $1,400.00. JL amps, custom made speakers, custom box.

The two speakers you see are the outer speakers. The inner speakers are aluminium cone custom made speakers. Each one of those cost me $2,500.00.

The box passes thru the box and cab. And as you know its not a hack job, I dont do those.

If you will note the three main cable attachment's. This alternator puts out a steady stream of varing voltage and amp's. If I set the regulator to full and hook up the cables to the main junction, I can stick weld with it.

Here is some more information on it.

But mostly I keep the regulator set just to power the stereo system.
