hmmm... i ran two 12s through a 1200w amp with the stock alternator in my car, although i never really ran it full power cause the subs were old and i didn't want to blow them. Djs setup uses two seperate alternators, one for the car itself and one for the mobile media. He bolted it in where the stock AC compressor is supposed to be. I'll have to let him answer how difficult it was, but I bet it doesn't require too many modifications.No festiva for me ATM... -
compiled from the 323gtx board
RX7 alternators will work in 323s so that means they will work on festivas. The 86-88 alternators are 70 amp,
89-91 are 80amp
and the 93+ are 110amp.
You might need the plug if your plug is different depending on the year. If you stay within the same year range you should be fine. I think mazda switched connectors in 88+ to a round kind and they are all the same on all mazdas. Worst case is you will need to splice in the plug which you can find at the junk yard on pretty much any mazda car.
The rx7 alt swap requires the mazda part # 9980-01-0105 longer bolt. Roughly $6. The bolt is I think 110mm long where as all commercially avvailable i found stopped @ 105mm.
