Hey guys,

I’m a 24yo guy from the netherlands so sorry for my bad english.

This will be my very first audio build, so i’m a noob in this and hope you guys have some pointers for me.

Edit:

The car with 93 sq.ft of Silent coat sound deadener and 65 sq.ft of Standartplast isolation so far

First off, what kind of car you shoving this into?

Second, you'll want to run the Remote wire differently. When you're splitting the Remote into so many different devices you can get some problems. You should wire the Remote to trigger a relay, which then provides battery voltage to all the amps.

Third, some ppl might suggest that you get rid of that CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) wire and run Oxygen Free Copper instead. The idea being that CCA has more resistance, so you have to lay more runs to overcome that resistance.

My fourth and final suggestion, I'd see if there are better batteries available for what you're planning. Optimas aren't the best option for the rear battery bank. You might look into XS Batteries if they are available in Europe. With all the money you'll have invested in those bad ass amps, you'll definitely want the electrical to support them.

If i'll go with my current car then i will go with 4 15's

My current car is a Vw golf mk2 G60

but if i'll go with a Vw transporter T5 then i will go with 6 15's or maybe 18's

2.

Thanks! What relay do i need?

3.

I read somewhere that 2 runs of CCA are 24% more efficient than 1 run of OFC

Plus the big price difference

4.

I can get XS power batteries in Germany but they are pricey :shok:

- What are other good brands?

- What amperage do i need 44Ah or 60Ah or even 110Ah?

- And how many would i actually need

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions!! :good: :good:

How long did it take for all that deadener?

Took me about 20 hours to do my doors and roof and back wall. About 3-4 hours per door. All depends on how easily you can fit/work through the access holes. Roof took about 3, Back wall took about an hour. Prepare for lots of cuts.

On topic, looks like a sweet and big build for a first time.
