Before you laugh those of you who know who i am know I am going to do something sick with this car. I just purchased a 1992 ford festiva. i still wince at this but it was $50 on ebay. I was wondering if anyone knows the size of the stock alternator and anyone who makes one to replace it. I am figuring i will need to weld brackets and put a diffrent alternator on it unless i can find a stock replacement with higher output. I am debating 6 15's 9 12 inch squares or 12 10 inch subs this is going to be a slanted wall from the b-pillar to the rear window. but i know power is going to be a difficulty..let me know what you think and what you can help with

Just sold 89 Festiva with 6 - 15" woofers. You can fit much in that car. Our boxes were 4.5 cuft each. As for alternater, we fitted a 140 amp unit from Nissan Maxima, bolts straight in. Also, ran two Orion XTRPro 2400s off 4 optimas and stock alt. with no problems. Good luck.

i wouldnt do a slanted wall if i were you. i do alot of SPL competition. i would also definitly use 15" subs with HUGE slot ported box. i would do a str8 wall, no slant. good luck with the project. competition is alot of work. i just won the state record this year. im already working on my new project, hopefully ill get the record again.
