You have a 1,200 watt amp. Larger wire is definitely advised.

Upgrade all of your wire to at least 4 gauge. Finish your big 3 as well and you will notice a difference. On a side note: It takes power to make power, and when you don't have enough made to use, your vehicle's electrical will suffer greatly.

You could down fire your woofer, that would in my opinion, be the best route IF you built the enclosure into the couch. The downside to that would be changing the woofer if it needed swapped.

The pulley is a four groove as well. I guess I did something wrong when I put it in, but it is getting fixed. Thanks Jon.

Ok, so I took it to a mechanic and it is not aligned properly. Like I said, i'm no mechanic and these are apparently some of the toughest alternators to change. It will be fixed Wednesday, and not by me. Thanks for all the advice, that's why I love this forum.

So I need to buy a new top bracket is what you're saying? The one that puts tension on the belt. I'll look into that. Thanks

It has only recently started eating belts. I have had this alternator since 2012.

How would I correct that?

Am I missing something there? I am in no way a mechanic. Lol

Yes, it works as it should. Up and down is the bolt behind the alt, and in or out is the nut you see there on the side. That's as good as I can get it.

The belt is snug around the pulley and cradles it well i'd say. It's a four groove belt, and it stays put.

I currently have a Mechman 270a in my 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 and it's going through belts like crazy. I have checked pulley alignment, tension, and have done everything I can think of to solve it. This only happens when the alternator is under a load when I play my beats. I have roughly 600 amps of draw with nearly 12,000 watts of battery reserve. It does the squealing the worse at idle, and actually tears these belts at higher engine speeds. I use the good Gates belts, but they don't last more than a few weeks. I have had trouble with this alternator several times and had to send it back three times, and swapping these belts, and especially the alternator in my car is a HUGE pain in the ass. Any ideas why this may be happening? I would like to solve this mystery before I have to swap for another alt. Thanks guys. If you need more information I haven't mentioned just ask.

You can get the same glue at a hobby store as well.

It would be a challenge for sure.

Piece of cake.

Use of the term SQL is frowned upon. You either have an SQ driver, or an SPL driver. There is no such thing as SQL. This thread will probably be locked soon.

We can't take it serious if we do not know what you are getting at here.

Just get an 800 watt mono block amp.

$500-$600 will not get you super loud bass, but it could get you started on your way. Do some research and go from there.
