Does it sound louder to the ear? -
Very nice craftsmanship on that box! Too bad it didn't get loud though. At least you know what doesn't work now Tuned in for the new box build

This Unless your planing on adding a second battery, I wouldn't bother with a second fuse in the back. But I would still fuse the alt to battery if you can. The diagram looks good otherwise. Edit- Just looked at the diagram again, and forgot to mention that the fuse ratings should be based on the wires rating. So if you put a 4awg wire going from the dist block then anything over 120a fuse is not going to protect the wire. That is assuming the wire is OFC.

no, SERIES. well, something isnt right. what is your ohm reading per coil? series should increase the resistance not lower it. All 4 VC measure ~4.4 ohms. I am using 10 ga speakerwire that has .5 ohm resistance when measured. I wonder if that extra ohmage is from the wire?? nah you can wire negative to negative, positive to positive: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2-DVC-4-ohm-mono-low-imp.jpg series: 1 ohm. That's wiring in parallel, not series. You might be seeing the resistance in the leads of the multimeter. Touch the leads together and see what it reads...if it reads about .5 then that's where the extra .5 is coming from, and means your actual load is only 1 ohm, not 1.5.

Fuse question
sprkn_ranger replied to ewilliams5430's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Generally anytime your wire decreases in size you need to put a fuse rated for the smaller wire at the dist block. With it only being a foot it might be ok, but if it were me I would fuse it. To be honest, I wouldn't even bother with a dist block and 4 gauge, I would just trim the wires to fit, or get an adapter like the others have suggested. -
Recone 4XL SPL (PICS)

Very cool man! You make it look very easy! -
I rear ended a ford explorer at like 10 mph on the freeway (stop and go traffic) and a few weeks later I got served lawsuit papers. They tried suing me for $280,000 total! My insurance company went to court for me (Allstate) and they only ended up with a total of $8000 and about $3900 of that was to fix the car.
