1999 Silverado Quad 230 install

[tahoexfixssd 0]

Here is pics of my Tejcurrent quad alt and bracket install in my 99 silverado. install took around 3-4 hours total. instructions were very detailed though, with very good pictures to help. thanks Troy!

pics of the alts and all hardware out of the box!

old mechman alt

the ECM has to be moved forward to allow clearance. to do so take the battery tray out and the ecm will unbolt. bolt it back in forward so that the second hole is now in the first position

make sure you grind off the powdercoating around the mounting bolts before you install or you wont get a good ground connection.

Thanks for posting all the pics, I've been meaning to snap a few of the ECM relocation and I keep forgetting. Do you have any pics of the equipment you're powering for those that missed your build log?

New Box

6 sets of Boston sr60 componants in fiberglass door panels

Kenwood DNX 9980 Dbl din in console

Tview 11" screen in dash

AC controls in glove box

1 set of Boston SR50's in the rear wall.

150ah batteries

VCM

More Dynamat

What did you put on the front of the wall? That's really shiny, if that's paint you put a lot of effort in that! Looks great, if you don't mind I'm going to take a few of these pics for the site.

I never heard of aluminum negatively electrically reacting with any specific type of metal fastener.

157.x sealed, 160.x in the kick with 1 h/o alt. After installing the bracket he had a sub go out and reconed it but was having a few issues with the recone. I think with just a little work he's going to be doing 160 sealed. He gained quite a bit going from ~11v to 14.5+ volts from what he was saying.

[tahoexfixssd 0]

damn. looks like hes got interchangable ports. you know what frequency he did that at?

His Build Log

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's around 50Hz tune, and those scores were around 55-58Hz from the tl screen shots.
