Just chiming in about the cost portion. It can cost almost 10x more to have a person sentenced to death rather than sentenced to life in prison. If you were really worried about the money coming out of your wallet, you would want life in prison. On top of that, with the death penalty once it's over it's over. Life in prison, they have decades to sit in prison, think about what they did, and know that they're stuck in that cell until the day they finally die which could be 50 years down the line.

CCA can't carry as much current as OFC can (about 250 for CCA, 300 for OFC). Knu is a great brand of wire, more wire and less jacket than any other brand I've seen. You can order straight from their website for the same price and get only the amount of cable you need instead of purchasing pre-cut amounts. Their Fleks is OFC and about $3.40 a foot, the KLMX you linked to is CCA and $1.75 a foot.

And now you know why you blew your other subs.

Fuse each run of 1/0 between the optima and kinetiks in 2 spots, within 18" of the optima and within 18" of the kinetiks. Fuse to wire rating, so 250a or 300a will be fine, but make sure to use 6 fuses for those runs. Then fuse within 18" of the run from battery to amp and match it as closely as possible to the amp's fuse ratings. You don't have to run each amp to a separate battery, they are all going to be connected in parallel and act as one big battery. I would suggest running all 3 1/0 runs to the first 2400, and then for the other batteries make a buss bar and then you can just tap your power and ground straight from the bars.

Haha yea gotta pay to play here, but it's worth it just being here.

Hawaii... lol. Shipping came out to $367 for UPS ground. Flat rate boxes would be the shit if they made em big enough, but would have to separate em because USPS doesn't ship over 70 lbs. That's why I said I can't really go "all out" because $1000 to someone on the mainland will get a lot more material than me when shipping isn't such a big factor lol.

So a double shop pack and a bulk pack. Comes out to about 1100 with shipping, well within what I was willing to pay. Thanks for the number, I'll see if anybody else thinks I need more than that or if 200 should be good enough.

Oh I completely agree, that's why I was asking how much I'm going to need to cover everything. I've never used any deadener before so I really have no idea how much is needed to do bigger vehicles like the magnum I'm referring to or an SUV or something along those lines. I never intended to say my budget was strict at $1000, just saying that's what I originally planned for and I was trying to figure out how much I REALLY need and if I'm going to need to save up a little more or if that will be good enough. Mainly just looking for a rough estimate of how much ft^2 of damp pro I'll need from someone who has done a similar sized vehicle, and then I'll get a little extra as well.

Yea it's more stable but I'm putting in an 18" SMD sub off a Sundown 4500. I'd rather over-do it then not have enough. Currently have no form of deadening in my 95 saturn, and all I hear is rattles. I want to do it right from the beginning and just cover all surfaces in the cabin.

Ok so I'm still trying to gather all my funds, so this build isn't going to happen until at the very earliest june. Just trying to make sure the money I had budgeted would give me enough material. So I'm looking at picking up a Dodge Magnum. Probably an 06 R/T, but it really depends on what I can find at the time. I'm doing the whole build at one time, so I want to cover the whole car (roof, floor, doors, trunk, you get the idea). Originally I think I had an 80ft^2 pack of damp pro, a 5 gal bucket of spectrum, and 40 SPL tiles. My idea was to lay down the damp pro first in the trunk area, then the roof, followed by doors and floor. If I had extra left over I'd re-do the trunk. If I ran short I had a 5 gal bucket to completely cover the floor and redo the trunk and probably roof. SPL tiles would go in the trunk area. Does this sound like too much, not enough, just right? I had about $1000 budgeted for deadener, but shipping to hawaii is a bitch so I can't go all out. I wanted some LLP but that bumped my shipping up to like $600. Would you guys recommend me getting JUST damp pro, like maybe a 160ft^2 pack and skip the spectrum? Or get the same thing just get more damp pro? Thanks in advance for your input.
