  1. I missed the pics today. Looking through them now I can say that your wiring needs some refinement. It may not result in more power but it will result in better reliability and safety. A charred cinder on the side of the road will make exactly 0 db.
  2. Even with the Banda amp, your ride should be bangin hard. If it isn't as loud as you feel it should be, you may look into doing an in-depth soundproofing of your car. At 3000w the whole freakin car should be shaking. Getting all those resonating parts to stop resonating within audible frequencies will result in great usable db in the car and it will sound a lot better too. You may also consider upgrading your power and ground cables beefed up to OFC and maybe 2/0 instead of that CCA stuff you have. Look at welding wire on Amazon as it works great and is a better value. You might also look for some folks in your location that are into car audio and talk to them about what to do. They will be able to see your car in person, whereas we can't really do here on the interwebz.
  3. At a 2 ohm load, this Wolfram amp may be a better choice for your subs.
  4. Your Skar rp2000.1 probably won't last long wired to 0.5 ohms though. Maybe you shouldn't try it.
  5. If your Skar rp 2000.1 will tolerate running a 0.5 load it would be a much better choice than that Banda amplifier. Wire your 2 subs in parallel and try the Skar amp and see what happens. You had better get your fusing straightened out though. The rule of thumb for fusing is 10 amp worth of fuse for every 100 watts of RMS amplifier power. 1/0 CCA cable at a length of 17ish feet may not be enough to handle 3000+ watts. Fusing does not reduce current flow, it just stops the flow altogether when the current exceeds the fuses rating...and prevents your car from burning the ground. Joshdashef linked to a chart on this site that will help you know what cable and fusing to use for your gear.
  6. This Skar amp is perhaps more in tune with the subs you have... https://www.amazon.com/Skar-Audio-SK-2500-1D-Monoblock-Subwoofer/dp/B008RC8F32/ref=sr_1_cc_5?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1526445907&sr=1-5-catcorr&keywords=skar%2Bamplifier%2Bmonoblock&th=1 ...but it does not state to be rated at the 1/2 ohm load you may have those subs wired to. I have seen some folks state that their Skar amps handle 0.5 ohm loads fine but Skar doesn't seem to back that up. It most likely won't handle that with your restricted power either. This puts you in a difficult position to be in...you don't have the proper amplifier or the proper subwoofers to achieve either's ideal scenario. You'll probably want to put in some diligent research into this so that you can make better choices in the future.
  7. A fuse acts as a weakest link in the chain...even though you have 2x 200amp fuses, that will still only allow 200 amps to flow through the cable. 200 amps is not enough to supply power to that Banda amp to deliver it's (supposedly) rated power of 3000w at 2ohms. The amplifier's 4ga (+) and (-) inputs are not sufficient to handle that kind of wattage at the amp's efficiency either. Basically, the Banda amplifier is not suitable for a typical car environment and probably won't deliver what you are expecting from it. Watch this...
  8. but last night it was... I sure love Guinness! ❤️
