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

id do 10 guage for 400 watts but 12 guage will work, caps are worthless, and you shouldnt have done anythin gto the starter big 3 is just eng block ground to chassi sground, battery ground to chassis ground and alternator to battery positive, and that guy sounds like a fucktard
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?

you said you wanted under 4.5cuft in your first post...you want a 4.5cuft box TOTAL. giving 2.25 to each woofer, which is what kicker recommends.
http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html
heres the red numbers
32
15
23
23
.75
4.5
0
4.2cuft, 35hz. space will go down a little because of sub displacement but its fine otherwise.
thanks

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

Snapped the leads on one of my lvl5's today so i soldered it back, worked fine for a while and went again, fixed it again and guess what it went again.
The snapped bit is now quite close to the cone so its going to be hard to do it again but.
Any ideas apart from a recone, mainly due to it taking ages to get one
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
just to the strut tower lug and find any bolt on the engin?
at advance auto parts
