RE: upgrade alternator
Upgrade your alternator? You want to over charge you battery or something? Get a smaller pulley on ur alternator. Then it will spin faster. But there should be no reason to upgrade the alternator. Its just a waste of money enless your running major amps or something that drains alot of power.

these guys might have one for neon but you have to find a dealer near you.

you need to add up the fuses and thatwill tell you how many the amps the amplifiercan pull.
you really shouldent need a better alt unless you running some serious audio or lights.
Whats in your setup?
