1 foot or less. you got the idea.

yes this is better. this way is goes straight to the battery instead of through the wire, into the chassis, up to the front, through the front battery ground. remember, 12v isnt enough to run through your body. you will be safe, just make sure not to short out anything in the car.

no... not really. just keep a close eye on you + wires. whenever you unhook them on one end, and the other end is connected to a battery, tape up any metal on the unhooked end. dont just trust that it wont touch metal. dont be afraid of sparks. it will happen. connect the + wire 1st then the ground.

add the extra battery in the back and upgrade the front battery later. this way you have 2x the battery power. i would recomend running the battery grounds to eachother instead of to the chassis. but itll work either way. for your amps. just run a negitive and a positive from the rear battery to the amp. putting another fuse on the + wire that runs to the amp is a good idea. dont worry about your questions. we were all where you are at one point.

gotta love stupid looking people getting punched in the face. lol he got hit so hard, his hat didnt even move to the side. it just fell straight down with the same spin the guys head made.

wow you guys thread jacked this guy lol. OP - ok so your running your subs at 4ohms. the amp puts out "750w" but ill bet thats the max power. you never actualy reach max power. its more like the number the amp can reach just before blowing up. chances are it only puts out 350w so you only have 175w per sub. this might give you a good idea as to why your not as loud as you think you should be. invest in a REAL amp. if it doesnt tell you the RMS power, dont even look at it. while you wait for your new amp, read around on these forums. learn how to set your gains with a DMM so you dont blow things up when it arives.

$10,000 budget and your box is uncovered and held on by straps? but alright, get some RE XXX 15"s

wow... is this REALLY what people think of cops? if your cool about the situation, the cop probably will. i would bet that the only reason he didnt give you the ticket is because you turned it down when you saw him. all they ask is for you to not do it in front of them. i think melissa is just kissing up because i told her im trying to be a cop

are you willing to double the power? DC level 4 xl's with 1500w to each. this question is asked almost every day, i wouldnt expect much responce. we are here to help but no one on here will do all the work for you. go do some research and make a list of 5 subs your interested in. post that list with more info on what you want out of the system, what kind of box your going to build, how much space you have, budget, etc. and more people will come in to help you pick from that list.

very possible. ill shoot out a guess at... 138.3. now you have to give me a prize if im really close

thanks jacob. that's exactly what my testing showed me.

but this remote IS a gain knob. no need for the other remote. oh my god... did everyone skip over my testing? i found out why they had that power loss.

not to confuse you more, but i would look into image dynamics IDQ. it gets fairly loud and sounds amazing. itll be the best sounding sub on that list. all depends on what your going for.

please tell me you guys read my follow up... the remote helps a lot in bass race or if i want to go from max spl or turn it down for a little more SQ or when my parents are in the car so they dont bitch at me. i agree about not needing the bass boost. i dont have a use for it either. but this isnt about "what you like/dont like about the amp".

did i ever say they didnt? now if he thinks they are the best subs and is going to pay a ton for them from a local shop, that IS a problem.

i dont think you can fit 2 15"s in an arm rest i dont know trunk cars very well but i think you would need to seal the trunk and put the seats down. by "sealing" i mean to make a little wall behind your back seats. this usualy means cutting out some metal to make the hole bigger. basicaly, a hairtrick is not an easy thing. if just anyone could do it with any decent sub then youtube would have nothing but hairtricks all over it. let me ask you, why kicker?

with one? no.

more info is needed. mostly, what kind of subs do you have?

your leaving anyways. no one cares what you think.

x2. i mean, ya id love to go shoot my rifle in my back yard but its not like everything here sucks because you cant do little things like that. have your friends every lived here to know the difference?

unless you have a TL meter you cant really know if its any louder. a lot of times your car will sound louder just because you put time and money into it. its just you being exited about your work. not saying this IS what happened. its just that our mind plays tricks on us some times. the wire is cool. not the best but wire is wire. i wouldnt buy much elce from knu. i got there rca's and they gave me more alt noise than my cheap $10 rca's. i got the top post terminals with three 1/0awg terminals and the bolt broke off so now i can never get the wire back out. found out it was only held on by a very thin piece of metal.

ok i just did some testing and i might have some answers for this. i thought it was - set the gain on the amp at 1/2 then the remote wont do anything past its 1/2 point. i was wrong. if you turn the remote ALL THE WAY UP itll be where your amp's gain is set at. however, the answer to thehoe92's statement is that the remote takes a little bit off what you set your gain to. so to solve this problem all you need to do it set your gains a little past clipping, or your target voltage. i also notices that if i turn the remote up to say, 8 clicks, i got 73v. but if i turn it DOWN to that same 8 click point i got 78v.

i know. but i need to for bass race. i can take it out when i just want higher numbers. ive just been trying to get a better grasp on how this knob works. cause if it was just adjusting gains then it shouldn't have an effect on output. you know what i mean?

thats what i thought. but then why is it that with my remote 1/4 the way up, the "volume" changes as i move the gains on the amp even though its past 1/4. shouldn't the "gain knob" be cutting the setting to 1/4?

i have 2 saz-1500's. im wondering if the remote is actualy a "gain" knob that turns up your gains untill you hit the point where the gain is set on the amp. or is it a bass boost knob?
