    Do you jump? I used to and flew jumpers on weekends. The "it" I was referring to is those little hairs in your cochlea don't heal when they break like a bone does. Your hearing doesn't get better.

    Where at? I miss those days A LOT! Some of the best times of my life. I got to fly all I wanted and jump when I wasn't hauling jumpers. It's not just a sport...it's an addiction to a bad drug!:rofl:

    This is one of the most creative uses I've seen so far for the storage boxes. Outstanding job. I'm about to put four 8" Rockford P3s behind the back seat ... but this gives me ideas for more.

    Thanks man! I now have 2 12s plus that box and fully amp powered speakers. System is pretty sweet now. Still running the stock alternator Also whole system is sound deadened as well. You can check out that video on my insta sharkythetaco

    I realize this an old thread but for those still using this looking for a good alternative to high output alternator you can use a highlander alternator which is 180amps and get it upgraded to 390 amps just have them take the Lin driver out and install a one wire regulator which will bypass the smart alternator as well as give you 14.8 volts. The charge light does not come on as it must be using a different circuit or shunt to see amperage draw.
