I hope this helps http://www.termpro.com/articles/xover2.html I built some crossovers using the info in this article. You can find everything you need to build some at www.parts-express.com Edit: while your a parts express you might want to check out their speaker projects. They list the drivers, the componets you need for the crossovers, and give you a blueprint for the enclosure.

I think this is what your looking for http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QgwgwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBussmann-BP-HHH-ATM-Add-A-Fuse%2Fdp%2FB000GKEXK2&ei=tB1wTuGVGJPUgAejtaSNBQ&usg=AFQjCNEbsCSe6NYqWCI2312bsURZG_P6xQ

I'd put it on a 2 amp trickle charge for a couple hours to make sure it's topped off.

I did say if the amps are fused I don't think it's necessary, but fuses and fuse blocks are cheap, having a couple extra isn't going to hurt anything, and it's always better to be safe than sorry. Edit: sp

you know their alternators have failed 9 out of 10 times right? Throw that information away. The fuses between batteries only protect them from each other or a wire grounding out between them. The fuse between batt and amp protects the battery from the amp if it goes crazy to kill power to the amp. Fuse could pop between batteries but the rear batt is still feeding the amp juice. Same for the other fuses. Anywhere a short could happen before a power source you want a fuse. Guess I'm the 1 out of ten mines been going strong for 2 years. And if the amp "goes crazy" wouldn't the fuses on the amp blow before the fuse at the back battery?

I agree with charging a new battery and the fuses between the front and back battery is a must but I was told by Iraggi that a fuse between the alt and battery isn't necessary. Edit: also if the amps are fused I don't think the fuse between the back battery and amps is necessary

Stay away from that site! They tried to rip me off with a bait & switch on some componets they gave me a refund but I had to pay shipping. I've also heard other story's but thats my personal experience.

Depending on what kind of terminals you have on your box you could just run a wire from both positive on your woofer to the positive terminal on your box and do the same with the negative.

Turn off DBFB. How did you set your gain? Sounds like your cooking your voicecoils.

I voted for em in round 1, and just put my vote in for round 2. I hope they win!

I've use this http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=216 works great!

One of these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=390-804 Or I think there's a way to find out with a RTA but I don't know enough about the process to explain it Edit. Disregard that second part I don't think you use a RTA

I thought it was only when running 3-4+ amps and a processor/line driver a relay was needed. Op- I'm running my amps like the second picture and haven't had any problems Edit. the 360.2 is a sound processor

Yup. You can get a cheap one at harbor freight for $5. To set your gain with a DMM check the second post in this thread http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/14666-calculating-gain-voltage/page__hl__setting+gain

I think he meant DMM, digital multimeter

^^^what he said. Also I hope you plan on buying/building some crossovers

I've used dynamat extreme and damplifier, the SS was thicker and cheaper than the dynamat. Second Skin>Dynamat

I ran mine directly from the alt to the battery, and I haven't had any problems.

Is that a quasi eighth order series tuned dual reflex?

It's a lil cheaper here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/184-0285603-7767418?a=B00009K7A + free shipping. Those towers are looking great! And thanks for showing how to flush mount those 3" aero ports that's gonna save me a lot of time on my next project!

I glue then clamp. When I can't use clamps (like on angled sides) I use spax screws and glue. Spax screws=Win no predriling and they countersink themselves

iPod double post fail

Damn I was way off. Nice score

That's one sexy box! I'm interested, 144.4 daily 147.8 comp
