  2. big 3 fuse location

    well not fuse a 15ft run is stupid.

    big difference form not fuse just the run under the hood.

    some people are going to tell you to fuse it and some are going to say dont fuse it..

    who's right?

    well, technically yeah you should fuse any wire that carries any type of load.

    I never have fused a alt charge wire.

    I have doen a "FEW" big 3 upgrades over my years.  .......lol @ few

    do whatever makes you feel comfortable mang

    enjoy car audio..

    Wow just a little off on that one.

    First off, personally i do not see a need for a fuse on a 1ft wire run, if there is a problem, let it burn.. hardly anyone will fuse a big 3 upgrade from the alt. to the batt.

    Second, the fuse is only there to protect the wire. PERIOD.

    Last but not least there is no need to remove the factory alt. charge wire, remember the whole reason you are doing this wire upgrade.......... path of least resistance.

    i am an installer man.. i have done 4 8" setups prob. 60 times.. quad cab fords, quad cab chevy's, ext cab chevy's, reg cab chevy's, 88-07 and who is gonna build a 4 8" setup for spl?????

    what do they hit?? 175db's.. lol

    its kool, it sound spretty good.. imo.

    sure 1 good 12 ported with the seat up is way louder.. but if you need legroom, well then something has to give.

    if i had a reg cab chevy i would do 4 aa 8's ported, but that box would have to be f/g and very tricky to get the space, or a cut-through..

    for the avg. guy 4 aa 's sealed, or 6 re 8's ported will do just fine.

    as far as the size of the woofer, that is irrellavant, size means nothing. your not gonna get some weird sound off of them , like they wont hit low-bass???? and next 18's dont hit high bass????

    CONE AREA. all that matters, and movment..= displaqcment.

    pretty sure 4 8's outdisplace your 12".

    and for the record. i have 4 18's in my own car.

    part of diy is knowing where to look.. imo.

    dl winisd and tune your self..

    or go to reaudio.com and use there box designer..

    then after your done with all that ask yourself if it would be worth 35.00 just to have it sent to you..

    Not trying to be a dick either but experience takes time and time is money.
