if you buy the harness, the hardest part of the entire install will be mounting the box (not that that is hard either). when you order the 6al just tell them you want the install harness.

Alright thankyou. Where are you guys mounting your boxes? i heard to keep it away from alot of heat and to try and keep it dry. Would it be to hard to mount it inside the car somewhere? is there enought wire? also i still have my battery under the hood, its not relcoated to the back and dont really want to put it in the trunk and i have seen some pictures of where people have put it where there battery used to be.

I mounted mine in my passenger back seat place, I took out the back seat so its kinda tucked under the small piece of carpet back there. I had problems trying to get it under the seat, it kept binding on it when I tried to move the seat .

Since my car still has the revlimiter set to 6k or something close to that if I were to get the 6AL would i be able to change that to a higher RMP or no? If not would it be better to just save my money and get the 6A since Im not going to be supercharging maybe MAYBE stroke it but thats it.
