has anyone ever seen under the hood of a 97 chrysler cirrus lx before? the alternator and the battery are covered up by all kind of stuff. to change the alt and the battery you have to take off the front wheels. i'm upgrading to 1/0 and a 300 amp fuse holder (its huge). i'd have to pull the power wire and the fuse holder threw to the battery side. what about if the battery holder don't fit threw? what about heat from the car on the fuse? has anyone ever changed the big 3 on a car setup like this before?

i'm putting a 220 amp alt and new battery in also along with the big 3. trying not to have no voltage drops. i have a rockford fosgate t15002 (2246 rms @ 1 ohm) and t5002 (744rms @ 2ohm). i also have a 40 farad rf capacitor.

There should be a jumpstart connector under the hood somewhere.. it'll be red. You can hook there; you might want to upgrade the wiring from the alternator to that point.
