its an 06 sebring i going to look at your build next so dont quote me on this but i need to keep my back seat. its bad enough i dont have a trunk anymore. i get so much shit for that. some people just dont understand. theres room in the trunk and my ruff estmates. make it so i can put a 38 inch wide 34 inch deep 15 inch high. but there would be no room in the back for the port to get any air. my other problem with that is getting the box in the trunk. build a beast of a box, 16 high 32 wide and 28 deep. had a bitch of a time getting it in. (just for now that box is just for a min while i wait for my other 2 subs to get back) and wil be cut out of the trunk. if i take all the seats out and remove the windsheild i can slide it in from the front of the car (am willing to do that) but not willing to lose the back seat.

i will still shop there dont be embarassed you just have the gift of wanting to bump

thanks i dont ever take advice from part store guys. i think i great that everybody helps everybody here. ive had lots of loud stereos but new nothing, learning alot thanks to everyone who takes the time to help. (my wife has been pissed at me for the last 3 weeks) she hates anything that shakes "idont like when me eardrums raddle" been working and planing, drawing, doing math, building boxes, changeing stuff around reading post, have a blast next up -box for my 4 12'', sealing off the trunk porting forward(yes/no) sub fireing up(yes/no) thats my plan so far going to take my time and do it right the first time. working on get some pics up of my getto system lol few videos of my lil window flex that i now have with my newly built box

i was just wondering what to do with the cut wire. does is cuz and volted loss or anything, just leave it there?

so today i was out looking for ring termals. not much was open today. but anyways i was asking the guy in the advance auto parts store for the ring termals. i told him what i was doing with rings that big.(1/0) explaned what i was doing, the big 3. his response was " thats just stupid theres no reason for wire that big" he then went on tell me that he was a "car stereo top award winner" so i ask what was his numbers told me his highest was 127. told me he was running 3 10's at 8 ohm. said he made the amp run at .25 ohms. said that made the amps blow fire out of them, and said "made the paper from the woofer go accross the room". now i am new to getting into the ohms and most the tecical stuff. but some of the stuff the guy was saying just sounded stupid. he recomend that i get a battire clamp and put a big ass bolt in the fender, and run a 8 gage wire for the power and ground. said that would be more then enough. thats when i left . is any of this even plossible? is there any truth to what he was saying to add when i ask him what class he won in his awnser was all around best clairty did get my ring teramls after 5 stores napa was my rescuer now my big 3 is done plus one battire(-) in the back to sturt bolt. if you could give your two cents please... on a few things speaker wire is 12 gage the right size for 400watts ? caps do i really need them? when i did the big 3 the wire going to the starter comes from the altnator? or is there a connect some where else? i took the alt wire off the alt., it did not go right to the battire it goes somewhere else. i guess the starter. then to the battire (i cant get to the starter pain in the ass) so i just connect the wire at the other end by the battire, to the battire. what should i do with the wire that was going to my altnator?

my pioneer hu i just took the green wire for the parking brake and gronded it with a switch inbetween. used a lamp switch rotor style under the dash cant see it. spin it two times and its on got a message gotta press on ok. did not work by just grounding out.

even i know better then to mix subs volted drop well i am still waiting for money for a new alt drop to like 12.3 12.2 but thats before my big 3 upgrade

well i got the box done and fitted. sounds great. lot more bang for my buck love it cant wait to get my other 2 12s hooked up getting it in to the trunk well thats a story in of its own. had to do some cutting, banging, pulling, pushing, cut some shit out and well lets just say its in there. i have a few pictures(forgot to take in the building prosses) but i have a few dont know how to post them got a ? about the big 3 upgrade. i cant find a engin block ground point. the car is a 06 sebring 4 door the ground for the battire is the strut tower, do i (A) run on to the grond lug coming out of the stut tower and one to the sturt? ( just to the strut tower lug and find any bolt on the engin? have pics of thatr too what a diffrents wire and some wood can make my box ant pretty far from pretty but it sounds good. it was great pratics now i know whats in store for the next box. with the 4 12s going in to it. any one got any ideas for me? everyone who helped thanke you very much i need ideas on how to get a bigger box in my trunk had trouble with one 32'' long 16 high.

in MA it depends if your older and lucky to have the old green plate you only need one . but if you have one of the newer plates, we have like 10 or 15 to chose from you need one on fount and back. fyi put the plate in the front window a no no too, you will get pulled over. was pulled yesterday for speeding 120 dollars 52 into 40, in a constion zone cop cut me a break dident duble the fine

from my exp the better the solder the better i add to reconnect my fuse for my amp. the first time it just keep melting away, got better solder and havent had a problem
