  1. I took the wire out from under the car and found that in one spot there wasalmost no wire left. I stripped it and twisted and soldered it and taped the shit out of it and found a groove in the car where I can hide it. Now with the voltage drop I blew my amp and it's gonna be pretty expensive to get fixed. Thanks for everyone's help. As soon as I get my amp back Ima post a video of the car. Later.

  2. Been having voltage problems lately. With just the 4 channel it is dropping to 11ish and with the subs it drops to 8ish. Not good. Tested the battery and the alternator. Checked the grounds. I do know that I bottomed out a few times and caused a tear in the 0G I have under the car. I just taped it up and didn't worry about. Now i'm convinced that it corroded and that is what is making my voltage drop. I don't have the cash right now to buy more wire and since the tear is in the middle I'll need alot. Can I cut like a 6"-1ft out and crimp ring connectors on the ends and bolt them together and tape it up real good for a temporary fix? The local shop doesn't have any 0G couplars in stock and I've never seen an 0G butt connector. Just a thought. Let me know. Thanks.

  3. When I built this it was ported through the front like a normal box, then I had another baby and had to modify it to fit a big ass stroller in. Now I'm glad to say my son has graduated to an umbrella stroller and I got my ported box back. I wanted to do something different so I decided to port it through the bottom of the box into the tire well and back up. I think it turned out pretty good. Let me know what you think. Any advice or criticism is welcome.

  4. personally I'm not big on Kenwood anything. Not saying it is bad, I just don't like it. Pioneer h/u are good when you get a higher model. Personally I like Eclipse but I heard they were going out of business or did already. Installation wise you need a dash kit, harness, and depending on vehicle an antenna adaptor. Power wire depends on the size of amps you decide on. It's always better to get a little bigger so if you upgrade you will already be set. I won't run anything smaller than 4 gauge no matter what I am running but I will go bigger. Subs and amps will just start an arguement because everyone has their own opinion. Hope I helped.
