yeah...it seems like thats what alot of memberss are using....the hc1800. i wouldnt mind that but the company i get alot of stuff from who sells the hc1800 for 199 shipped is on back order and the hc2400 for 289 is in stock not to mention the hc1800 is like 235 shipped elsewhere and that $35 will buy the side posts,etc for the battery so im being patient at the moment

so got a pic? when i get my car back i will see if i can remove the battery box lip or something and gain clearance. chris told me he didnt think i could for the height issue, but im stubborn lol

thanks for the help so far guys...

Good Brian...glad your choosing the 1800 instead of the 2400. It seems like an overkill, even though your system might require that kind of juice. I was just going to get the 1800 locally since the yellow top at AutoZone is around the same damn price.

???? im not....i am trying to get the hc2400... it IS overkill but no harm in having it. that's one of the reasons im wanting it,it is overkill and i can always add more

yeah the local places want like 350 for the hc1800

it was my old mechanic, he was a dummy...
i drove up to nashville since people in town wanted 300 and the guy who built it only wanted 125 or 150 to install it so i went up there and let him out it on

so the 1800 fits as a direct replacement, right?

and so the iraggi alt is in now and working well?

site i got it from is now out....

i havent got the battery yet...but will when i get it

although since i have a spare HC2400 (its dead) i will measure it when i remove my battery and measure it to see if i can fit the HC2400 or the HC2000. if i can, i will just sell the hc1800 i just bought and mount either of the bigger ones (preferably the hc2400) if i cant, i will just mount the hc1800 and call it a day
