with only a 270 amp alt your system would be pulling a lot out of the batteries. with a system that requires 362 amps as you said plus the car needing around 40-50 amps so you have around 400 amps of draw or more. youll get pretty bad voltage drop from your batteries because the alt cant keep up with that at full rpm. plus that alternator probably only puts out 100-150 at idle so your pulling even more from the batteries then
a high output alternator or two would be required. one big agm battery up front and a few in the back and a few runs of 0 gauge or better front to back for positive and negative
well at my walmart they only sell 50 oz and 16 oz bags so i would just say get a 16 oz and use it all. i did around 1.4 per cube and it was packed in there pretty good
i dont really get what youre saying. the 1800 on your rockford amp probably means 1800w peak. my friend has an mtx amp that 600 rms 1800 peak. go off the rms rating when choosing an amp and if its not cea compliant then its probably overrated
just put a dmm or voltmeter to the terminals to see what voltage youre at. its also not good to run agm and LA batteries together but a lot of people do it so you should be fine
i just looked up what piece youre talking about
is it the 4 trim pieces? i can see how it would look bad without them but maybe contact kicker for them
i was just making sure you didnt wire it like this
the best way to make sure your subs are good would be to pull them out of the box and put the dmm to each coil to make sure they read around 4 ohm
i like the idea but youre probably going to run into cancellation issues with there being subs facing forward, backwards, and upwards. cant wait to hear it though and i hope it works out for you so you don have to design another box
show us some pics! boss is really shitty but id consider it a higher end shit. also as most people here will tell you get rid of the capacitor. use the search and you will find a bunch of reasons why they do more harm than good. im also interested to see what the boss amp clamps at
